William Carey University has joined the Mississippi Artificial Intelligence Network (MAIN), the nation’s first statewide AI initiative. The goal is to prepare students for the opportunities and challenges of an AI-driven workplace.
As a MAIN partner, William Carey University will integrate AI training into its programs, giving college students and instructors access to practical, relevant education about artificial intelligence. The MAIN option will also be available to working professionals through WCU’s Carey Institute for Excellence.
“Artificial Intelligence is already reshaping how we interact with the world. Giving our academic community access to MAIN’s curriculum is a major step forward in our mission to provide an education that challenges our students,” said Dr. Noal Cochran, WCU vice president of academic affairs.
“We look forward to working with MAIN as we help students integrate their Christian values into an emergent technological landscape.”
Dr. Kollin Napier is the director of MAIN.
“We’re excited to welcome William Carey University as our first private university partner. Their involvement expands MAIN’s reach across Mississippi’s higher education landscape, ensuring AI education and workforce readiness are accessible to learners at both public and private institutions,” Napier said.
The Mississippi Artificial Intelligence Network was established in 2023 in response to the rapid rise of AI and its projected impact on workforce sectors. MAIN provides AI leadership through awareness, education, training, and innovation initiatives.
