It’s a pleasure to share that UIC Business was recently featured in an NBC News segment titled “Future-Proof Your Career with AI” which aired on July 28th.

The story highlighted how UIC Business students are leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance their business education and career readiness. We were also excited to announce the upcoming launch of an AI Certificate Program, designed to help professionals across industries harness the power of AI in their careers.

The segment included an interview with Ali Tafti, Head of the Information and Decision Sciences Department, and showcased Matt Liotine, Clinical Professor and Director of MSSCOM, leading a classroom discussion on AI applications. It also spotlighted our students’ recent collaborations with Bosch and CCC Intelligent Solutions, where they applied AI to solve real-world business challenges.

This recognition reflects the innovative work happening across our college. We’re proud of the dedication and forward-thinking approach our faculty, staff, and students bring to UIC Business every day.
