University of Idaho adds AI degrees in Moscow and Coeur d'Alene
University of Idaho will launch AI bachelor’s and graduate degrees in Coeur d’Alene in Fall 2026, aiming them at North Idaho’s tech jobs.
University of Idaho will add bachelor’s and graduate degrees in artificial intelligence at its Moscow and Coeur d’Alene campuses in Fall 2026. The university will offer a Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence, a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and a Master of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence, with the graduate programs also available fully online.
The degrees connect to jobs in AI engineering, data science, software development and advanced research. They are intended to serve employers in technology, healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, energy and cybersecurity, sectors that have increasingly looked for workers who can build and manage intelligent systems.
The bachelor’s program is built on more than 40 years of the university’s artificial intelligence education and research, and its curriculum is set to cover computer science, machine learning, data science, intelligent systems and responsible AI. The master’s degree is designed for students who want to develop intelligent systems, conduct advanced research and solve complex technical problems. The engineering master’s targets future AI engineers, technical leaders and industry innovators through hands-on learning and interdisciplinary collaboration.
The Coeur d’Alene campus sits in the North Idaho Higher Education corridor and uses space on the North Idaho College campus, where it serves students pursuing flexible degree completion and workforce development. The AI expansion gives students, career changers and working adults a way to move into high-demand tech work without leaving North Idaho.
U of I’s College of Engineering already runs computer science and cybersecurity programs in Moscow and Coeur d’Alene, with graduate programs in Idaho Falls and distance-learning options through Engineering Outreach. The university also has its Center for Intelligent Industrial Robotics, which connects robotics research and training statewide in AI, automation, cybersecurity and manufacturing, and a partnership with Google that provides free AI and career training.
