1:36 In 2017, USU started offering its drone minor to students and due to high demand, they started working on a major in it as well. Drones are a growing technology with many uses. As some students at Utah State University started going through the drone minor program, they quicky realized there are many opportunities in the field. Professor Baron Wesemann, USU Pilot Program Director, has been working towards creating this major option for students. “Within 24 hours, 11 students signed up for the unmanned aerial systems and for for the aviation operations,” said Wesemann. Even though this major will be officially offered next fall, two students will be graduating next month with the degree, Spencer Whitehead being one of them.
