I became curious on if the popularity of DRONES was something you could get a undergraduate degree in. I went researching and found out that Unmanned Systems is one type of academic pursuit.
I really have been amazed at the DRONE footage a friend named David Ruffner shoots. He lives in Myrtle Beach but recently came back from Mexico with some fantastic footage from above while he and his wife were out on the water.
Here is photo of Dave
Back to getting a degree to study DRONES. Six years before North Dakota became a state the University of North Dakota was founded in 1883. Today the university consists of 15,000 students exploring 200 plus fields of study. One of the fields of study is related to DRONES.
The University of North Dakota was one of the first two Universities in the United States to offer an accredited degree in Unmanned Systems. This program helps UND by giving it a unique program. They have years of experience in a field that is only a few years old.
Photo below shows the first graduates of UND program.

Some student have even gone on to win prizes in competitions
Grand Forks is a great vibrant college town of over 50,000 people located on the border of North Dakota and Minnesota.
I found a ton of YouTube videos that featured DRONE compilations. The one I am sharing is by a young man named Raymond Tiller.
Raymond just might be someone who obtains a future college degree studying how DRONES make our world better.
