Faculty at Rollins College approved an artificial intelligence certificate after a year-long campuswide process focused on curricular integration and AI literacy. The faculty discussions emphasized that AI fluency should expand student capability without replacing the core human-centered experience. The resulting framework ties AI literacy to foundational knowledge, practical skills, and ethical and social awareness, but stresses ongoing safeguards for deep, effortful learning and independence—particularly in how assignments are designed and how students are taught to use AI responsibly. The development reflects a more structured approach to integrating AI into liberal arts education, positioning AI as a curricular challenge that requires explicit pedagogy rather than informal tool adoption.
