Students interested in the future of technology now have a major new opportunity at Kennesaw State University (KSU) — a brand-new Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence program launching in Fall 2026. This program recently received approval from the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, making KSU the first university in the state to offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees in AI.
Housed in the College of Computing and Software Engineering, the new AI bachelor’s degree is designed to prepare students for a workforce that’s rapidly embracing artificial intelligence across industries like healthcare, manufacturing, public safety, logistics, and business services. The degree will be offered both at the KSU Marietta Campus and online, giving students flexibility in how they pursue their studies.
What makes this program stand out is its focus on real-world experience. In addition to core technical coursework, students will take a first-year experience course and a writing-intensive class tailored to computing. The curriculum culminates in an applied AI capstone project, where students will collaborate with industry partners, gaining hands-on experience that can jump-start their careers. Internships and undergraduate research opportunities are also built into the program to ensure students graduate with both skills and experience.
KSU’s leadership says the interdisciplinary nature of the degree — which combines computing fundamentals with a required minor in a field where AI is applied — equips graduates to adapt and innovate in a variety of professional environments. With AI continuing to shape how we live and work, this degree aims to give students a leg up in a competitive job market.
In short, the new Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence at Kennesaw State is more than just a degree — it’s a launchpad for tomorrow’s tech leaders.
