A new bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence prepares graduates to design, build and lead with one of the most in-demand skill sets in the modern economy. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects much faster-than-average growth across computing and data science occupations over the next decade, and employers consistently rank machine learning among the most sought-after skills for new graduates. 

A newly launched master’s degree in human-centered AI, meanwhile, teaches the technical foundations of AI and machine learning while integrating skills in design and psychology for students to better understand people’s needs, perceptions and behavior around AI systems. 

A new master’s degree in aerospace engineering comes as the aerospace industry experiences massive growth — marked by the emergence of commercial space companies and high-profile missions like Artemis II. 

A new bachelor’s degree in ocean engineering expands the university’s long-standing naval engineering concentration, and it supports critical sectors in national defense, renewable energy and coastal resilience. The program aligns with federal initiatives like the SHIPS for America Act. 

And with a new bachelor’s degree in literature, culture and media, launched last year, students take courses such as Fictions of AI, Storytelling from Myths to Video Games, AI and Society and others in history, media, culture and technology. The program aims to develop well-rounded graduates with strong analytical and communication skills and a deeply informed understanding of cultural history and technological literacy.
