The South Dakota Board of Regents has approved three new academic programs with a goal of providing an educated workforce in three high-demand industries– Artificial Intelligence, Agribusiness Leadership, and Strategic Innovation and Leadership.
Dakota State University in Madison has developed the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence program. The Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Agribusiness Leadership is being offered through the University of South Dakota. The Master of Science in Strategic Innovation and Leadership is being coordinated by Northern State University.
Regents Executive Director Nathan Lukkes says the new programs reflect a commitment to meeting the needs of South Dakota’s workforce and economy. He says by providing students with cutting-edge education and practical skills, these programs are preparing them for successful careers, fueling innovation, and driving economic growth in South Dakota.
Lukkes says the continuous review and modification of programs ensures that the six public universities in South Dakota overseen by the Board of Regents stay relevant and responsive to the economy’s changing needs. He says as industries evolve and new opportunities arise, institutions must adapt to meet these challenges and provide students with the best education to support their career aspirations.
More information on these programs can be found in documents included with the BOR April Meeting Agenda.
