Romanian-American University is integrating artificial intelligence into the curriculum of every academic program, ensuring that all students graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in an AI-driven economy.
Building on initiatives launched in 2021, the University has developed a cross-disciplinary educational model that combines AI literacy, critical thinking, digital competencies, and ethical decision-making. The initiative reflects the University's commitment to preparing graduates not only for today's careers, but also for emerging professions shaped by rapid technological change. The University's approach is based on a simple principle: artificial intelligence creates the greatest value when combined with critical thinking, strong digital skills, and the ability to make informed, evidence-based and ethical decisions. From Critical Thinking to Artificial Intelligence Competencies Students at Romanian-American University have access to:
- Critical Thinking, a course designed to develop analytical thinking and evidence-based decision-making;
- Digital competencies developed through the curriculum and internationally recognized certifications such as ICDL;
- AI tools and Prompt Engineering competencies;
- Process Optimization & Automatization with AI, a course focused on the practical application of AI technologies for process optimization.
“We believe that the role of a university is to prepare people who can adapt with confidence and excel in their professional fields. That is why we educate students not only for today's professions, but also for those being reshaped - or newly created - by emerging technologies. By integrating artificial intelligence across all academic programs, we aim to enrich every student's educational experience in a meaningful way. Our goal is to graduate professionals who understand technology, think critically, make well-informed decisions, and use artificial intelligence responsibly to innovate, create value, and contribute to the development of a human-centered digital society,” said Prof. Costel Negricea, PhD, Habil., Rector of Romanian-American University.
Depending on their field of study, students also benefit from specialized courses such as AI in Business & Industry, AI in Sport and Kinesiotherapy, and Cybercrime Law. Applied Research and Infrastructure for Future Technologies
