Department Website
The Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence degree provides students the opportunity to gain cutting-edge AI knowledge and skills with a solid theoretical foundation as well as a good understanding of different application areas. This bachelor program prepares students for a productive career in industry, lifelong learning, and for graduate study in AI. The BS in AI is strategically designed to build on the strengths of existing computing programs on campus and produce well-rounded students with a balance between strong theoretical foundations as well as practical and hands-on technical skills. The program also includes a strong professional component for the development of skills in technical communication, ethics, and teamwork. The program was designed to satisfy the local and national industry needs and student learning perspectives. To earn a Bachelor of Science degree in AI students must complete a minimum of 128 credits and meet the following requirements:
Program educational objectives
- Understand representations, algorithms and techniques used across works in Artificial Intelligence and be able to apply and evaluate them in applications as well as develop their own.
- Understand and apply machine-learning techniques, in particular to draw inferences from data and help automate the development of AI systems and components.
- Understand the various ways and reasons humans are integrated into mixed human-AI environments, whether it is to improve overall integrated system performance, improve AI performance or influence human performance and learning.
- Understand the ethical concerns in developing responsible AI technologies.
- Implement AI systems, model human behavior, and evaluate their performance.
Specific offerings for each semester may be found in the Schedule of Classes.
