Bachelor of Science in AI and Policy Analysis

University at Buffalo - SUNY

If you love learning about technology-and you want to make a difference for communities around the world-this unique major lets you take a big-picture approach to the policy issues that affect our lives.

What will I learn?

As an AI and Policy Analysis student, you’ll learn how AI tools can be built by society, for society, to solve problems with elections, policies and governance. You’ll start by taking classes about AI and ethics, how technology disrupts society, and how AI is changing economics and other fields. You’ll benefit from a few technology classes to get familiar with basic statistics and computational skills. Then, you’ll build on this knowledge with in-depth classes on democracy and comparative political systems-and choose from electives in topics like surveillance, the media, presidential campaigns and judicial power. Finally, you’ll have a capstone course where you can bring together everything you’ve learned to look for solutions to real-world problems.
