Starting in fall 2019, students at Ohio’s Sinclair Community College will be able to enroll in a four-year degree program in unmanned aerial systems, also known as drones.
They’ll learn mission planning, maintenance, laws, data analytics and more. Working on drones is a new field, and the college is eager to expand its program to meet the growing demand for graduates.
Just up the road, Youngstown State University offers a somewhat similar four-year degree, in mechanical engineering technology — but tuition there is double Sinclair’s.
Sinclair is one of a growing number of community colleges that have embraced the practice of two-year schools conferring four-year degrees. As college costs rise and state officials look to accommodate nontraditional and low-income students, more are turning to community colleges to develop programs for industries with a lot of need — sometimes irking officials at four-year universities in the process.

Hey four year schools - Go -- --!!
I went to a 4 year school, graduated with a business administration degree.
All the jobs I applied for require 2 years experience. currently going to school for my cdl because the jobs there are willing to train. SAD.....
You sure you want your bridges, aircraft and weapons designed by people who only have a cursory understanding of the actually engineering principles involved? Good luck with that.
10:37 we need only look as far as the mare. He's credentialed from exotic colleges but not educated. Lapdog council asks no questions.
