| Drones and Autonomous Systems Program Description |
| The University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) proposes a new online Upper-Division Certificate in Drones and Autonomous Systems (C-DAS). The certificate will require 18 credits (six 3-credit courses) of undergraduate coursework. The C-DAS can be pursued as a stand-alone certificate, which has immediate market value with respect to employment and career opportunities. It can also be completed as a stackable credential, allowing students to apply the program credits to a range of existing undergraduate majors at UMGC including Criminal Justice, Homeland Security, or Public Safety Administration, or the minor in Emergency Management. |
