Vision 2030 and CST mission

Vision 2030

The College of Science and Technology (CST) envisions a future where artificial intelligence (AI) is seamlessly integrated across disciplines, driving discovery, innovation and inclusive excellence. Our goal is to become a national leader in preparing an AI-ready workforce by embedding AI literacy into every aspect of the curriculum, empowering all Temple students to thrive in a rapidly evolving, data-driven world.

CST is committed to fostering interdisciplinary engagement that transcends traditional academic boundaries. Through collaborative initiatives, project-based learning and real-world applications, CST will equip students with both the technical mastery and the ethical grounding required to lead in the responsible development and use of AI technologies.

To ensure that every student graduates with a strong foundation in AI literacy, critical thinking and problem solving, CST will:

  • Launch advanced AI-infused curricula across science and technology disciplines, with pathways for integration into humanities, arts and social sciences.
  • Create interdisciplinary learning experiences that connect students with faculty, industry and community partners to tackle societal challenges through AI.
  • Develop co-curricular programs that support career readiness, including internships, AI bootcamps, research fellowships and entrepreneurship opportunities.

By democratizing access to AI education and fostering a culture of curiosity, creativity and inclusion, CST will prepare the next generation of thinkers, leaders and changemakers to shape a more just, productive and prosperous future.
