Middle Georgia State University is set to become the University System of Georgia’s first institution to offer a Bachelor of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI), designed to prepare students for careers in a rapidly evolving industry.
The USG’s Board of Regents approved the degree program on Tuesday, February 11. MGA will launch the degree this fall and base the program on the University’s Warner Robins Campus.
“We are grateful for the confidence and support of the University System as we pioneer this AI degree program,” said Dr. Alex Koohang, dean of MGA’s School of Computing. “Our degree will prepare our students to thrive in an era where AI technology is transforming industries and societies globally. It was strategically designed to address Georgia’s key economic sectors in agriculture, aerospace, logistics, and others as they use AI more and more to optimize their operations and foster innovation.”
