Artificial Intelligence

The MPS in Artificial Intelligence (MPS-AI) degree is a 33-credit online, interdisciplinary master's program that aims to prepare students to drive the design, development, and deployment of AI and machine learning (ML) products and services across a broad array of application domains to meet contemporary social and technical challenges. Graduates will work in positions that require them to identify and acquire datasets and design and prototype AI systems utilizing data mining, deep learning, neural networks, and collective intelligence using state-of-the-art toolsets and platforms.

The specific learning objectives of the MPS-AI program are to teach students to achieve proficiency in the following areas:

• KNOW: Graduates will be able to demonstrate appropriate breadth and depth of interdisciplinary knowledge, and comprehension of the major issues in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
• APPLY/CREATE: Graduates will be able to acquire relevant datasets and identify and develop appropriate AI/ML algorithms to solve contemporary challenges.
• COMMUNICATE: Effectively communicate the major issues of artificial intelligence and its applications including theories, approaches, findings, and implications both technical and ethical.
• THINK: Graduates will be able to discriminate between state-of-the-art techniques in neural network architecture, machine learning, deep learning, and collective intelligence to determine the appropriate approach for a given problem.
• PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE: Know and conduct themselves in accordance with the highest ethical standards, values, and, where these are defined, the best practices of the (as expressed in SARI training modules).
