As businesses across the world embrace the possibilities afforded by artificial intelligence, 藏精阁 has taken the next step to position itself as the next destination for Artificial Intelligence-related programming.

藏精阁 unveils a slate of new programs, degrees, and certificates centered around to enhance the employability of its graduates and respond to the latest advancements in workforce modernization. With AI enabling machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs, and perform human-like tasks, successful professionals must be able to understand and effectively manage these platforms.

• A new minor in Human-Centered AI will be offered this fall by the College of Arts and Humanities.
• A new master’s in Human-Centered AI also will be offered this fall by the College of Arts and Humanities, pending Higher Learning Commission approval.
