691 million. That’s the number of Google search results for the various versions of “online degree in ai.” 691 million!
Considering the first bachelor’s degree program in AI was launched just six years ago at Carnegie Mellon, this is an astounding level of interest. It’s especially astounding considering the “online” aspect of the Google search term.[1]
Now, to put this massive search volume in perspective, it’s important to know this: Over the past decade the number of people interested in getting a degree focusing on artificial intelligence (based on variations of the search term “AI degree”) went from practically zero to over 1.25 billion.
Yes, interest in artificial intelligence degrees are that hot.
And, because of how the industry as a whole has become so attractive, offering some incredibly well-paying jobs, students are also completing their AI degrees at very high rates.
In fact, as the Georgetown University Center for Security and Emerging Technology noted, AI degrees have shown positive degree conferral growth vs. negative conferral growth across all other degree areas… with a “dramatic” increase of 120% (since 2011) in both bachelors and master’s levels.[2]
Meaning this: If you offer online degrees in AI, you may not only see positive enrollment growth, but you could retain those students through the entire program at a rate higher than other degree offerings.
Or more simply put, offering degrees in Ai could be a real boon to the bottom line.
Of course, your institution may already be offering degrees in artificial intelligence, and your institution may already be seeing enrollment (and conferral) growth.
But if it’s not, now’s the time to consider adding these programs to your offerings…
For the simple reason being, prospective students want them!
Now, simply offering degrees in AI won’t necessarily mean new students will come flooding into your programs. So naturally, to attract them, you’ll need to market your artificial intelligence programs directly to them.
To best do this, you’ll need a proven marketing partner who can reach these prospects and inform them all about your school and its programs.
That’s where Conversion Media Group comes in.
