Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a topic of conversation for futurists—it affects everyone in the here and now.
Anderson University sees the importance of responsible, ethical collaboration between humans and AI. With that in mind, AU is partnering with BoodleBox to develop a new degree program to prepare graduates to take the lead in developing the future of AI.
The Anderson University College of Arts and Sciences is launching a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Artificial Intelligence degree program in the fall of 2026.
Through coursework in AI foundations, applied systems, data literacy and ethical leadership, students will develop fluency in human–AI collaboration, data-informed decision-making, and the design of intelligent systems.
Graduates of the program will be equipped to use AI strategically and responsibly within organizations and communities. They will combine practical skill, ethical judgment and analytical insight to drive innovation and improve decision-making across sectors.
The degree prepares students for emerging roles such as AI Project Coordinator, Innovation Specialist, Instructional Designer with AI Expertise, Ethics and Compliance Specialist, and Policy Analyst, positioning them for leadership in workplaces that increasingly rely on artificial intelligence to advance human flourishing, organizational excellence, and societal good.
This degree will prepare students to engage thoughtfully with emerging technologies that shape human life and work. The BS in Applied Artificial Intelligence is designed as a non-technical, human-centered program, it equips students with practical proficiency in AI applications while cultivating the moral and spiritual discernment needed to lead responsibly in a rapidly changing digital world.
The program reflects Anderson University’s emerging identity as a leading innovator in educational improvement through technology and collaboration. It advances the Digital Learning Initiative’s vision to invest in people and technologies that make learning more accessible, personalized and transformative.
