Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Bachelor, Associate, and Certificate Programs
Love to fly UAS's? Let what you love, be what you do.
At Sinclair Community College, we love aviation as much as you do! Sinclair, located in downtown Dayton, has been a part of aviation technology development in the Miami Valley and Ohio region for many decades.
Dayton, Ohio, birthplace of Aviation and home of the National Air Force Museum, is located just west of Wright-Patterson Air Force base in Montgomery and Greene counties. This makes Sinclair and Sinclair students perfectly positioned to take advantage of the vast aviation resources in our area.
Unique to the Miami Valley Region and Ohio, Sinclair is offering a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Unmanned Aerial Systems. This degree provides high quality, cutting edge education in a rapidly expanding career field with new and emerging business applications. Sinclair has the National UAS Training and Certification Center, the world’s first custom-built UAS indoor flying pavilion, a large flight simulation lab, a dedicated UAS transport vehicle, and many different UAS aircraft to fly.
