The Artificial Intelligence minor is designed to prepare students to confidently engage with AI technologies in their academic, professional and community contexts.

By completing this minor, students will:

• Apply foundational AI and machine learning concepts to analyze data and solve real-world problems within their field of study
• Design and implement AI-driven solutions through hands-on, project-based learning experiences
• Collaborate across disciplines to plan, develop and communicate technology-informed projects
• Evaluate AI tools critically, understanding their capabilities, limitations and appropriate use
• Demonstrate ethical and responsible decision-making in the development and application of AI technologies
• Adapt to emerging technologies and continue learning in a rapidly evolving digital landscape

Grounded in Cal State Â鶹´å’s commitment to accessible, inclusive and transformative education, these objectives prepare students to use AI not only as a technical tool, but as a means to create positive impact in their careers and communities.

At Cal State Â鶹´å, your study of artificial intelligence extends beyond the classroom into a region shaped by innovation, sustainability and community connection. Located along California’s central coast, you’ll explore how AI can be applied to real-world challenges that matter locally and globally.

From improving agricultural systems in the Salinas Valley to advancing ocean research, environmental monitoring and sustainability efforts, you’ll see how AI can drive meaningful change. These hands-on, place-based opportunities connect your learning to the region’s natural and economic strengths.

The coastal environment also encourages creativity, collaboration and fresh thinking, giving you space to test ideas, work across disciplines and develop solutions with purpose.
