Why study Artificial Intelligence
This program provides students with focused training in artificial intelligence methodologies, tools, and applications while building on the strong foundation of the Computer Science major. The major emphasizes programming, algorithm design, and the mathematical principles that underpin modern computing. Students gain a solid understanding of core computer science concepts while exploring a broad range of topics in artificial intelligence through the AI concentration.
The Department of Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT) is one of the largest computer science departments in Tennessee. CSIT offers multiple Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Master's degree programs to more than 600 students and majors. Multiple areas of study (concentrations) are available across several majors. Most concentrations are offered 100% online, and all concentrations are available on campus. On-campus students may also take online courses if they wish. Transfer, online, military-affiliated, second-degree, and non-traditional students are welcome.
B.S. CS: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Concentration majors go on to pursue many different paths, such as, but not limited to: Software Engineer, Web Developer, Software Developer, Software Programmer, Applications Developer, Computer Programmer, Computer Systems Analyst, Artificial Intelligence Engineer, AI Developer, AI Data Scientist, Machine Learning Scientist, AI Software Engineer, Intelligent Systems Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, AI Ethics Analyst, AI Integration Specialist etc.
The APSU Computer Science and Information Technology Department has dedicated full-time faculty members and features small class sizes. All classes are taught by professors and instructors satisfying APSU Faculty Qualifications Matrix. Many classes are conducted in modern computer labs, allowing computer-based demonstrations and lectures.
Department of Computer Science & IT faculty have decades of real-world experience and education in the computing field. All full-time professors have completed terminal degrees in computing and part-time faculty members have many years of real-world experience in different computing disciplines. Many full-time and part-time faculty act as consultants, and/or conduct regular multidisciplinary computing-related research.
