Minor in Interdisciplinary Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI)

From healthcare and business to education and the creative arts, AI is rapidly transforming the world we live in. AI is no longer limited to tech companies - it’s shaping the stories we tell; the businesses we build; the care we deliver; and the ways we learn, create, and connect. Our Interdisciplinary Applied AI minor was created for any major, and emphasizes understanding fundamental AI concepts, applying tools strategically and ethically, analyzing the broader implications of AI, and developing informed approaches to AI adoption across various fields.
