The University of New Haven is introducing a Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence that will equip students with the technical, ethical, and industry-focused skills needed to design and deploy AI systems across a wide range of industries.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how industries operate, from healthcare and finance to manufacturing and cybersecurity. Recognising this growing transformation, the University of New Haven is launching a new Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence, designed to prepare students with the skills needed to build and manage the next generation of AI technologies.

The new program combines foundational technical knowledge with real-world applications and ethical considerations.

Div Pithadia, BE, MS, MBA, assistant professor of practice and coordinator of the B.S. in Artificial Intelligence, says the program reflects the growing demand for professionals who understand not only how to build AI systems but also how to apply them responsibly.

“The program was created to provide education in the engineering and applications of AI systems while emphasising ethical considerations and societal impact,” said Prof. Pithadia, a distinguished technology and product leader with more than two decades of experience driving innovation across global enterprises and startups.

Artificial intelligence, he explained, is inherently multidisciplinary. Students in the program will explore both the technical foundations of AI and the broader human and societal implications of the ever-evolving technology.

“Students will learn key concepts such as math, statistics, computing, data engineering, machine learning, and deep learning,” Prof. Pithadia said.
