    Artificial Intelligence

    About

    Saint Louis University's master's program in artificial intelligence prepares students to apply artificial intelligence methods both efficiently and ethically in order to solve difficult problems and impact the well-being of society.

    This graduate program provides students with a depth of knowledge regarding the models and technologies used to make advances in underlying artificial intelligence and machine learning. Through a partnership with faculty across the University, students may choose to apply these techniques in specialized areas of application such as:

    • Autonomous systems
    • Bioinformatics
    • Data science
    • Health outcomes
    • Image processing
    • Natural language processing
    1. Graduates will be able to select the most appropriate choice among artificial intelligence methods for solving a given problem.
    2. Graduates will be able to design an experiment to evaluate the quality of a machine learning model and predict its accuracy in a solution environment.
    3. Graduates will be able to apply techniques from artificial intelligence to solve complex problems in an application domain.
    4. Graduates will be able to design and implement a software solution that meets a given set of computing requirements. 
    5. Graduates will be able to make informed and ethical decisions regarding the impact of artificial intelligence technologies.
    6. Graduates will be able to assess literature and technical documents in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
    7. Graduates will be able to effectively communicate methods and results to both professional and general audiences in both oral and written form.

    How to Apply

    Step 1: Accept or decline your admission

    If you applied using SLU’s online graduate application, you can notify us about your decision to accept or decline your admission by logging in and clicking on “Manage Your Account.” From there, you can access the decision form.

    If you’ve used a third-party, centralized application to apply — such as SOPHAS for public health programs or CASPA for physician administration programs — you’ll need to email us directly at [email protected] with your decision.

    Step 2: Set up your SLU Net ID

    Follow these step-by-step instructions to set up your SLU Net ID.

    Step 3: Log into MySLU

    Log into mySLU at auth.slu.edu. Use your SLU Net ID and SLU Net Password, then click "Login." Click on the "Tools" tab to find links to systems, such as Banner Self-Service and other SLU applications and systems.

    When logging in for the first time, you will be directed to set up your multi-factor authentication. You will need to log in upon completing that process.

    Step 4: Check with your academic department

    Contact your department in order to receive enrollment directions, important dates and other information specific to your graduate program. You can also check the University calendar.

    Step 5: Read the Saint Louis University Graduate Catalog

    The Saint Louis University Graduate Catalog has useful information about life at SLU as a graduate student, including campus resources, academic policies and program curricula.

    Step 6: Submit your immunization and health insurance forms

    If you decide to attend SLU, you will need to submit your immunization records and health history. You will also need to submit a health plan enrollment/waiver form.

    Step 7: Visit parking and card services to obtain your SLU ID card

    You’ll use your SLU ID card to access student services and campus buildings such as the library. Make sure to bring a photo ID, along with a copy of your class schedule.

    Step 8: Finalize your financial aid
    If you plan to take out student loans, make sure you’ve filled out your FAFSA for the current year. Contact student financial services with any questions. For questions about assistantships, contact your program.
