UT Arlington replaces its business analytics degrees with artificial intelligence degrees
The University of Texas at Arlington College of Business launched two artificial intelligence degrees on September 14th, 2026. They are a bachelor's program and a master's program in artificial intelligence. The new degrees take the place of the college's existing Business Analytics programs rather than sitting beside them. The college describes a redesigned curriculum aimed at using the technology for business strategy, productivity and decision making. New certificate offerings accompany the degrees. No start term and no first cohort size is stated in the announcement.
How to take part
The announcement is published on the university's own newsroom. A prospective student reaches the college through the degree pages the announcement links to. No comment window attaches to a curriculum change a university makes for itself.
