A new initiative at DeVry University aims to give students the technical skills and strategic thinking needed to thrive in an AI-driven workforce.
As artificial intelligence continues to redefine how we learn and work, DeVry University will embed AI literacy and skill building into every course by the end of the year.
The effort expands on the automation and machine-learning curriculum DeVry launched in 2020, adding new AI-focused courses and credentials and embedding AI learning assistants in every class. It’s all part of the institution’s push to give every student the technical proficiency and applied fluency needed to succeed in an AI-augmented workforce.
Elise Awwad, president and chief executive officer of DeVry University, said AI literacy is an important skill set for students to have across disciplines and industries as the workplace rapidly evolves.
