AI in Higher Education

13.0% — the gap between the fastest and slowest-growing university markets in the U.S. What does this mean for AI talent? Nevada’s 38.1% expansion vs. South Carolina’s 7.8% reveals a growing divide in higher education infrastructure. This isn’t just about enrollment — it’s about where future AI innovators, quantum engineers, and ethical AI architects will be trained. The states investing in universities today are laying the foundation for tomorrow’s technological dominance.
