Universities are scaling AI and immersive learning to close skills gaps and streamline administrative work. UNC‑Greensboro’s Bryan School leveraged AI and VR in funded immersive environments to prepare students for workforce roles, while presidents at Southern New Hampshire, San Jose State and Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts described AI as a tool that automates administrative tasks and expands access. Campus leaders are piloting chatbots for admissions, AI for transcript evaluation, and AI-driven student success analytics — but they emphasize governance, training and ethics frameworks to avoid widening inequities or creating unsupported automation.
