At Smeal, artificial intelligence is embedded across business education and operations rather than treated as a separate tool or initiative. Guided by a college-wide strategy and Smeal's Top 5 in 5 vision, AI shapes the curriculum, informs research and scholarship, and supports faculty and staff development to enhance teaching, deepen impact, and strengthen real-world relevance.
Together, these efforts form an integrated AI framework that connects education, research, and practice while encouraging continuous innovation. The result is an approach to AI adoption that is aligned, sustainable, and impactful, and one that prepares students to think critically, use sound judgment, and lead responsibly in an AI-enabled business world.
Students graduate with the ability to use AI effectively, evaluate it thoughtfully, and apply it responsibly in real business contexts.
