Artificial Intelligence Major

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Artificial Intelligence (AI) trains students in the emerging computer science discipline of AI, machine learning and deep learning. AI, or machine intelligence, is concerned with AI theory and algorithms for learning, data analysis, optimization and decision making that can be applied to several applications. 

Students receive in-depth training and knowledge to transform large amounts of data into actionable decisions for complex inputs such as vision, language and databases. 

The curriculum includes artificial intelligence topics such as knowledge representation, heuristic search, automated problem solving, decision making, machine learning, deep learning, and appropriate computer science, electrical engineering and computer engineering topics.

Students gain practical experience in AI through a core of AI-related coursework that builds depth while exposing students to the various aspects of the discipline. Students complete an AI capstone project in their final year of the program.
