Vanderbilt has begun work to establish a college — to be the institution's first addition in more than 40 years — dedicated to computer science, artificial intelligence, data science and related fields, university leaders announced Monday.

According to a press release, the search for the future college’s dean is scheduled to begin in late August, with recruiting of faculty to begin “in the coming months."
