| Considerations for Selecting Degree | Our digital ecosystem is constantly evolving with new technologies constantly evolving, one of the most important of these today is artificial intelligence (predictive and generative). This program combines the fields of computer science, mathematics and data science to create an innovative series of courses that prepares students for jobs that create or use artificial intelligence applications. This program is for developers who are forward thinking technically but are also socially aware, focusing on trustworthy and explainable AI products to improve the lives of others. |
| Considerations When Selecting Courses |
Students should have a technical background, including a solid foundation in applied mathematics, particularly statistics. The technical background can be from information technology or mathematics but computer science is preferred, including classes such as CSC 200; CSC 201; CSC 202; MTH 245; MTH 263 and MTH 264; or MTH 271 and MTH272.

| Program Requirements Beyond Specific Courses | This is a new program in Fall 2023 designed to prepare students for the advancing field of artificial intelligence (AI). |
| Doing More With Your Degree | There is overlap with several other majors and minors in the School of Technology and Innovation. Students can complete double majors in Computer Science, Information Technology, or Cybersecurity. They may also do minors in AI and Robotics, Cloud Computing, Data Science, and Computer Science, all maximizing their ability to get that job in the advancing technology marketplace. |
| Program Successes & Highlights | While this is a new program, we do have several students who have graduated with a BS in Information Technology, with a minor in Data Science, who have exciting positions in industry including developing artificial intelligence applications. This program is based on their experience and the growing impact of artificial intelligence in our daily lives. This is an evolving job market. |
