AI cannot replace liberal arts education.

LAC graduates will come out of AI era far better than anyone else.

I completely agree. Now more than ever we need readers, critical thinkers, creatives.

I’m not just talking about STEM. AI can help with so many things—preparing presentations, analyzing data, producing media or any entertainment content, journalism, or even tools for any research.

This is the right answer.

I looked at the methodology … this ranking is for doctoral programs.

I was talking to a friend’s kid who’s graduating next year. She said students are basically left to figure out how to get their foot in the door on their own. Even her elite school didn’t help much or really boost her AI skills for the job market. Most big employers now expect new grads to know AI—either using tools or just understanding how it works. There’s a huge gap between what schools teach and what employers actually want.

The ones who completely ignore that it exists.

That’s a stupid take! Actually it’s coping.

UC Santa Cruz has been making investments in this space.

I don't think anyone really knows yet, but I'd look for schools that are already working on incorporating advanced AI tools into their programs across majors. I don't mean chatgpt, but job-specific advanced tools that graduates will be able to leverage down the line.

Anyone with kids in college—thanks.
