Regardless of how you feel about drones and the government, a state funded institution is teaching potential students how to operate unmanned aircraft in Murfreesboro.

A brand new program at MTSU will offer a bachelor's degree in unmanned aircraft operations...

That was Doug Campbell, Unmanned Aircraft Systems manager in the MTSU Department of Aerospace.

The rising business sector into unmanned aircraft will equal big bucks for new college grads with a starting salary in most positions of $50,000 or higher. Drone operations will contribute $13.6 billion into the U.S. economy in the next three to five years.
