ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — A Clarke County school is planning to offer courses to teach students how to operate drones, track down cybercriminals and more.

The Athens Banner-Herald reports (http://bit.ly/125BJOq ) Clarke County Career Academy will offer several career-oriented courses next year in an effort to increase students' interest in dual high school-college enrollment. The courses are expected to be available in fall of 2015.

Athens Technical College Vice President Dan Smith says the courses are tailored to fit careers in industries that are expected to expand in the future.

Aside from drone operations and mobile cybersecurity, Smith says the career academy plans to offer courses in video game design, robotics and more.
