Earn Your Bachelor’s Degree in AI
The Bachelor’s in Integrative Artificial Intelligence (IAI) at Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies brings together two sides of AI. On one side, you build a foundation in programming, mathematics, and AI systems. On the other hand, you examine how those systems operate in the real world through ethics, governance, and human-centered design.
As a student in this major, you complete a required minor in an applied domain such as analytics, business, communications, media, or policy. By the time you graduate, you will have developed technical competency alongside the ability to critically assess how AI shapes society, organizations, and human values.

What Can You Do with a Bachelor’s Degree in AI?
A Bachelor’s in Integrative AI opens doors across technology, policy, business, media, and the social sector, giving you access to roles that connect technical capability with real-world application. You might work on how AI is used in public policy, contribute to responsible design in a healthcare organization, or apply AI research in media platforms used at scale. You may also support business leadership by clarifying what AI can realistically deliver and where its limits require oversight.
The Integrative AI program at Syracuse University’s iSchool prepares you for these roles by combining AI training with an applied minor. You learn how to work with AI systems and apply them within a specific field, so you can take on AI-adjacent roles that traditional computer science degrees don’t reach.
