Blinn College to offer AI associate degrees in the fall

“Many employers will not even consider a resume unless it shows experience with AI,” Carol Wiggins, Blinn’s Computer Information Technology coordinator, said in the release. “Students do not need to master every aspect of artificial intelligence, but they do need a fundamental understanding of how it works, how to use it, and how to do so ethically. That baseline knowledge will allow them to grow as the technology continues to evolve.”

Also of note

Following the sale of its 2026 revenue bond of $55.5 million, the college will save more than $12 million over the life of the bonds while supporting construction of the new Waller Campus academic building.

In December, the board approved a guaranteed maximum price of $68 million for the Waller Campus academic building of an approximately 82,000-square-foot, three-story facility, according to the release. The academic building will include classrooms, laboratories, student support areas and administrative spaces that will serve as the foundation for future campus development.
