AI Minor Debuts

New York Tech is now offering a minor in artificial intelligence (AI). The new minor is open to all undergraduate students preparing to transition into any number of careers. As AI becomes increasingly essential in a wide variety of fields and industry sectors, this minor is designed to equip students with foundational knowledge and practical skills that complement their major disciplines.

This new minor underscores the university’s commitment to producing graduates who are well-versed in the latest technological trends while also being conscious of the societal impact of their work. Further, it emphasizes interdisciplinary learning by integrating courses from business, health sciences, architecture, and the humanities. This approach creates a unique intersection of AI and major-specific knowledge and draws faculty experts from across the university to teach.

Students will gain hands-on experience with tools and techniques that are integral to strategic business operations and key to employability in sectors like finance, logistics, and healthcare. Further, coursework encourages interdisciplinary collaboration, teaching students to work effectively in diverse teams. The ability to communicate complex AI concepts to nontechnical audiences will be developed through projects and presentations, and all students who complete the minor will have a clear understanding of the ethical considerations surrounding AI development and deployment.
