Abstract College student mental health has been a critical concern for professional counselors. Anxiety and depressive disorders have become increasingly prevalent over the past decade. Utilizing machine learning, subset of artificial intelligence (AI), we developed predictive models (i.e., eXtreme Gradient Boosting [XGBoost], Random Forest, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression) to identify US college students at heightened risk diagnosable anxiety disorders. The dataset included 61,619 from 133 higher education institutions was partitioned into 90:10 ratio training testing models. We employed hyperparameter tuning cross‐validation optimize model performance examined multiple measures (e.g., area under receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC], accuracy, sensitivity). Results revealed strong discriminative power in our learning with AUC 0.74 0.77, indicating current financial situation, sense belonging on campus, disability status, age as top predictors This study provides practical tool counselors proactively before these conditions escalate. Application counseling research data‐driven insights that help enhance understanding determinants, guide prevention intervention strategies, promote well‐being diverse populations through counseling.
