BS in Artificial Intelligence
Introduction
The BS in Artificial Intelligence, offered by the Computer Science Department, equips the students with an in-depth knowledge about how to transform large and complex scenarios into actionable decisions. The program and its curriculum focus on how complex inputs such as knowledge, vision, language and huge databases can be used to make decisions to enhance human capabilities. The curriculum of this program includes coursework in computing, mathematics, automated reasoning, statistics, computational modeling, introduction to classical artificial intelligence languages and case studies, knowledge representation and reasoning, artificial neural networks, vision and symbolic computation. The program also encourages students to take courses in ethics and social responsibility, with the opportunity to participate in long term projects in which artificial intelligence can be applied to solve problems that can change the world for the better in areas like agriculture, defense, healthcare, governance, transportation, e-commerce, finance and education.
