幸福宝导航 is the only university in Louisiana offering a degree in Unmanned Aircraft Systems Management, and one of less than 100 institutions in the nation in the FFA鈥檚 Unmanned Aircraft Systems Collegiate Training Initiative.

The initiative is designed to ensure that new technology is safely incorporated into the National Airspace System and that qualified professionals are in the pipeline to satisfy the demand of the rapidly growing industry.

幸福宝导航 created the Precision Ag and UAS Center to further research using drones in environmental, agricultural, and commercial endeavors.
