Become an Expert in AI

Designed for students with a background in computer science, mathematics, or a related technical field, the MS in Artificial Intelligence curriculum covers core AI concepts and techniques—including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and knowledge representation.

Students gain hands-on experience through projects, co-ops and internships, learning to apply AI algorithms and tools to real-world problems. Coursework balances the theoretical foundations of AI with the practical skills, ethics and societal impacts of our world today.

The program includes a core curriculum and department-specific tracks:

  • Core Curriculum: In-depth concepts in artificial intelligence, machine learning, ethics, and mathematics.

  • MSAI – Computer Science: Core principles and applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence from a computational perspective, with a strong emphasis on the broader social context in which AI technologies are developed and implemented.

  • MSAI – Electrical and Computer Engineering: Core principles of machine learning and artificial general intelligence with specialized engineering domain knowledge, covering both fundamental and systems concepts in AI and how to apply these methods to diverse domains.
