Program Overview

Artificial Intelligence is transforming healthcare, business, education, cybersecurity, ministry, and more. Concordia University Wisconsin’s Bachelor of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence prepares you to design, evaluate, and responsibly deploy AI solutions across industries. Study on campus in Mequon within a collaborative STEM community, or complete your degree fully online with a flexible pathway built for working adults and transfer students.

What makes our program different?

You will acquire the imperative skills of ethical and moral discernment regarding the implications of AI through a Lutheran-Christian perspective. We don’t start with tools, we start with values. You’ll explore questions like:

  • What does it mean to be human in an AI-powered world?
  • How can technology enhance, not replace, human dignity and collaboration?

Skills for the jobs of tomorrow

Develop essential workplace skills that AI can’t replicate like critical thinking, ethical decision-making, intercultural fluency, and persuasive communication. Be prepared to lead in roles like:

  • AI Ethics Consultant
  • Algorithm Developer/Engineer
  • Business Intelligence Developer (BI)
  • Data, Robotics, or Software Engineer
  • Data Scientist
  • HR or Marketing Innovation Lead
  • Natural Language Procession Engineer (NLP)
  • Policy Advisor or Tech Ethicist

What to Expect

A Bachelor of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence at Concordia will provide you with the insight needed to use cutting-edge AI to support vocations and human dignity rather than undermine them. You will discover how to evaluate AI; understand the history, technical intricacies, and determine integration paths for sales, human resources, project management, education, healthcare, marketing, and more. As well as prepare you to perceive the challenges and shortcomings associated with the technology.

Designed for impact

This program doesn’t just teach about AI, it empowers you to use it. You’ll learn to optimize AI tools for human-centered outcomes, promote inclusive tech adoption, and engage in hands-on projects that reflect real-world challenges.
