Boston University Awaiting Approval for Artificial Intelligence Undergraduate Program

The Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences (CDS) at Boston University has finalized its proposal to create a new undergraduate degree program in artificial intelligence. Awaiting administrative approval, the program is reported to potentially begin accepting students as early as the Fall 2027 semester.

The proposal for an artificial intelligence undergraduate degree, planned to be implemented within the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences (CDS) at Boston University, has been submitted to administrative authorities for approval. Mark Crovella, a professor and associate dean of academic affairs at the faculty, stated that the program will offer students two different specialization areas. Accordingly, the program aims to provide education on building advanced artificial intelligence models, applying artificial intelligence in other disciplines, and artificial intelligence ethics.

If the approval process concludes positively, Boston University will join institutions in the Massachusetts area that already offer dedicated artificial intelligence undergraduate programs, such as Bentley University, Northeastern, Wentworth Institute of Technology, and MIT.
