Artificial Intelligence

About the artificial intelligence major

The next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) is pervasive. AI reaches across platforms at enterprise scale, offering convenience, increasing productivity, and propelling innovation in fields from public safety to intuitive logistics. Whether it's a self-driving car, detecting credit card fraud, or allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater control, AI is rapidly shaping our world. 

This Bachelor of Arts degree in AI is tailored for students focused on human and applied data science. This degree prepares you for jobs in fields such as user experience (UX) engineering, where AI technologies are integrated and evaluated for human interaction and compliance.

 

Engaged learning experiences

Regardless of your major or future career, engaged learning is vital to your present and future. It makes you more marketable for jobs and professional schools upon graduation, it enables you to build deeper connections with faculty and staff in your field of study, and it makes your learning personal by connecting your interests and values with the curriculum from your classes. Look for opportunities within your specific school and talk to your career coach to learn more.
