Why choose Nazareth for Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Society?
- While other colleges and universities teach coding and technology, Nazareth University's community-connected Institute for Technology, AI, and Society (ITAS) and this specialized degree apply an ethical lens that future business leaders, policy makers, and other professionals need. You'll be prepared to address the challenges, risks, and workforce needs that technology such as artificial intelligence brings.
