Program Description

The Bachelor of Science with a major in Artificial Intelligence program (BSAI) equips students with a strong foundation in computing, as well as the knowledge, skills, and methodologies necessary for ethical and professional practices in artificial intelligence (AI). This innovative STEM degree program integrates knowledge from the fields of computer science, cybersecurity, data science, information technology, and software engineering. It provides students with in-depth studies of the core principles and technologies in artificial intelligence, such as machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, cognitive computing, natural language processing, computer vision, human machine teaming, and AI’s ethical implications. This program also utilizes opportunities via course projects, term projects, and capstone projects to explore their application in different sectors, including defense and homeland security, e commerce, engineering, finance, healthcare and others. Students are encouraged to earn a minor in another discipline that provides a breath of knowledge relevant to the designing, developing and deploying AI solutions.   

Students will develop skills in AI programming and project development, AI research, and industrial internships. The emphasis of the BSAI program is on experiential learning and problem solving. This program includes a required capstone course where students apply their knowledge by conceptualizing, designing, and executing AI-driven solutions to address real-world challenges. Graduates from the program will be well-prepared to begin their career in industry, government, community and non-profit organizations, or pursue graduate study in the rapidly expanding and evolving field of artificial intelligence.  

Program Student Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to: 

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions. 
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. 
4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline. 
6. Develop cutting-edge AI solutions to address various application challenges by applying or designing AI/ML algorithms and tools.
