Marvell Technology, Inc. Reports Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025 Financial ResultsNorth Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (N.C. A&T), America’s largest historically Black college and university (HBCU), is redefining the landscape of Black excellence in STEM. Known for graduating the most Black engineers in the nation, N.C. A&T is also launching a bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence (AI). This is the first stand-alone program of its kind in North Carolina and one of only a few nationally, according to Triad Business Journals . The University of North Carolina System Board of Governors approved the AI degree in late November 2024, positioning N.C. A&T as a trailblazer in AI education. The program offers two concentrations: Advanced AI Systems through the College of Engineering and Applied AI via the College of Science and Technology. Students can choose between in-person and online learning formats, accommodating diverse needs and expanding access to cutting-edge education. Graduates will emerge equipped to address AI’s ethical, technical, and social implications while driving solutions in industries ranging from agriculture to defense. “Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are increasingly part of everyday life with the potential for profound and far-reaching impact on virtually every facet of society,” said Chancellor James R. Martin II said in a press release . “Collaborating with federal and state agencies, major industry leaders and fellow research universities, we have created a rich AI learning environment that is well informed by the latest in science and policy. Our new bachelor’s degree will prepare students for immediate impact, especially in the critical area of human interaction with AI.” With partnerships involving NVIDIA, Google, and IBM, the school is driving advancements in fields such as sustainable agriculture, quantum computing, and cybersecurity. Recent projects include a $9 million Department of Defense grant to enhance AI and cybersecurity systems and collaboration with North Carolina State University to create an AI platform for agricultural research. These initiatives reflect A&T’s commitment to leveraging AI to benefit underserved communities while contributing to North Carolina’s $111 billion agriculture sector and other key industries. “It’s nearly impossible to overestimate the impact of AI in addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” said Stephanie Luster-Teasley Pass, COE dean in the press release. Added CoST Dean Abdellah Ahmidouch, “Our bachelor’s degree will enable our graduates to help create real-world solutions to complex global issues and shape a brighter future through science and technology.”
