Lead Innovations With AI

The Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MSAI) is designed to prepare graduates with the foundations, principles, and technical knowledge, to master the comprehensive framework of theory and practice in the emerging field of AI. Students will gain technical skills and practical expertise for developing and deploying artificial intelligence techniques to real-world applications.

Program Overview

The MSAI program will allow students to gain an understanding of AI technology, its applications, and its use cases. The program consists of the core requirements, the depth of study, a choice of courses, and the capstone. Core requirements include fundamental concepts, techniques, tools, and practices related to artificial intelligence such as machine learning, deep learning, MLOps, and natural language processing. In addition to the core courses, the Depth of Study sequence prepares students to demonstrate expertise in artificial intelligence with courses such as Agent Based Systems, and Emerging Topics in Artificial Intelligence.

A choice of courses allows students to expand their interests in other disciplines, such as Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Data Science. Students can select an internship as an option. Students complete the capstone course which can be a project, research paper, thesis, poster, or a public presentation designed to demonstrate mastery.

Learning Outcomes

The Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence will prepare students to:

Apply foundational knowledge, principles, and practices of artificial intelligence (General Artificial Intelligence Knowledge).

Implement artificial intelligence principles and applied practices to use cases (Artificial Intelligence Principles and Practices).

Analyze critical and ethical thinking to solve problems in artificial intelligence (Critical and Ethical Thinking).

Evaluate data to inform decisions and solve problems in artificial intelligence (Quantitative Literacy).

Create the ability to develop and express ideas while applying a variety of delivery modes, genres, and communication styles (Communication).

Collaborate effectively on diverse teams to accomplish a common goal (Collaboration).
