Oklahoma State University
OK · AI Readiness #209 of 227
AIREDEX™ Score: 4.8 /10
OK State's Google AI for Education Accelerator partnership gives every student free access to Google AI Pro and Career Certificates, and the Spears School of Business has folded applied artificial intelligence and machine learning into its undergraduate data analytics major.
Undergrad Cowboys can tap the Pete supercomputer's 22 GPUs at no cost, and the ATTAQ program, funded by a $3 million NSF traineeship, is building AI-quantum research capacity across Physics and Mathematics at OK State, though its fellowships are graduate-only. OK State does not offer an undergraduate AI degree or a credit-bearing AI minor open to students outside computer science, both of which can be found at fellow Big 12 schools like Kansas State and Texas Tech.
