The University of North Dakota has announced the addition of three new degree programs in athletics, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. The university will launch a bachelor’s program in cybersecurity engineering, a master’s program in athletic administration and coaching, and a Ph.D. program in artificial intelligence in the coming months. These new programs aim to better serve the state by aligning students’ interests with job opportunities in high-demand fields. The cybersecurity engineering bachelor’s and AI doctorate will be housed in the College of Engineering and Mines, while the athletics master’s program will be in the College of Education and Human Development.
Former Grand Forks Public Schools athletic director Mark Rerick will chair the new master’s program, which aims to prepare students to be leaders in athletic departments within academic institutions. The cybersecurity engineering degree is part of UND’s National Security Initiative, designed to attract federal funding. The AI Ph.D. program is the first of its kind in the region and will focus entirely on the study of artificial intelligence. The cybersecurity bachelor’s will be available both online and in-person, while the athletic administration master’s program will be offered entirely online. The AI Ph.D. will only be available on-campus. These new programs represent UND’s commitment to staying at the forefront of cutting-edge education and preparing students for future job opportunities in rapidly growing industries.
