On The Business Times' Thrive, Associate Professor Sharon Tan, contributed insights to an article examining whether a tech degree remains valuable in an AI-driven economy.

Graduates who pair deep technical grounding with the ability to work confidently and thoughtfully with AI will continue to stand out in a fast-evolving industry.
