Indiana Wesleyan University

Indiana Wesleyan University is the higher-education case in AI Meets the Search for a BA. Nick Swisher says the school spends about $500,000 annually, about 10% of its marketing budget, on AI-influencing efforts so it can be discoverable when prospective students ask conversational questions.

The source says Indiana Wesleyan has added many FAQ pages to answer prospective students’ questions, including questions about career prospects and what a student can do with a degree. That makes the school a concrete example of Higher Education AI Discoverability: owned web content is being reshaped so AI systems can retrieve accurate, current, natural-language answers.
