The University of Central Oklahoma is introducing a bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence and an MBA concentration in AI management to prepare students for careers in the rapidly evolving field.
Preparing Students for the Future
Beginning this fall, UCO will offer a bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence through the College of Mathematics and Science, focusing on the technology behind AI and how to build it. The university is also introducing an MBA concentration focused on AI management, designed to help future business leaders understand how to implement AI in the workplace.
Dr. Russell Evans, dean of the College of Business, explained that the programs were created in response to growing demand across Oklahoma’s major industries, including aerospace, defense, energy, and financial services, as employers increasingly integrate AI into their operations.
Evans emphasized that UCO is committed to preparing students to adapt to the changes brought by artificial intelligence. The curriculum will adapt to keep pace with the changes, and students will learn how to use AI responsibly, seeing it as a tool to enhance ideas rather than replace human creativity.
