Smeal AI Initiatives
Preparing Responsible, AI-Ready Business Leaders
At the Penn State Smeal College of Business, artificial intelligence is not treated as a trend, a tool demo, or a single course. It is intentionally integrated across the business curriculum, explored in faculty and staff development, and applied in professional practice—so members of the Smeal community learn how to think, analyze, and lead in an AI-enabled world.
Smeal’s coordinated AI strategy reflects the College’s broader strategic plan: preparing graduates for the rapidly changing world of work, advancing innovative teaching and learning, and modeling ethical, responsible leadership. Through a connected set of initiatives, Smeal is building a coherent AI ecosystem that spans undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs while supporting faculty, staff, and students at every stage of the learning journey.
