High Demand for AI Professionals 

As we rely more and more on technology, which is evolving at an exponential rate, the demand for AI professionals will continue to surge. And since AI can innovate almost every industry, a degree in this field can future-proof your career and make you a valuable asset to any employer. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in AI occupations is projected to grow 31.4% by 2030, making it one of the fastest growing fields in today’s job marketplace. 

The AI Landscape: Applicability and Profitability 

A B.S. in AI can lead to an array of promising career paths. Graduates are well-equipped for roles such as computer programmer, IT specialist, software engineer, robotics engineer, data scientist, systems analysts, and more across all industries. Current salaries for AI Engineers can be seen at $120k or more, which is significantly higher than the median annual wage for other occupations. This trend is expected to persist, if not increase, making AI a lucrative field. 

Exploring the Intersection of Technology and Human Behavior 

The B.S. in Artificial Intelligence explores how humans interact with technology, how AI can improve the human condition, and how AI can offer new methods for automating tasks and preventing human-error. With the infusion of this new technology into our daily lives, and as it absorbs more and more man-made duties, ethical implications and human factors will be important focuses of our curriculum. 

Guiding the Future of the Field 

AI needs human intervention. While the goal of some AI programs will be self-sufficiency, there will always be a human aspect needed, not only to create software and perform system maintenance, but to inform AI’s problem-solving capabilities as well. New careers in this area are emerging like prompt engineering and other innovative ways to get involved in the field to help guide the future of the industry. A degree in AI can help advance your career and make you an important part of this field’s progression. 

A Degree by Design

The B.S. in AI degree is structured for undergraduate students who desire to enter this or similar fields in their professional careers. It also provides a path for computer and data science personnel to explore new ground in this critical area. Graduates will contribute significantly to the field through the creation of new knowledge and ideas that are required to address the current and emerging topics in AI.
