Name: PCC Proposal to Establish a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence
Proposed: 03/28/2025

Proposal: Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are rapidly evolving and being more integrated into various aspects of society and industry, leading to a growing demand for Artificial Intelligence professionals. The MS in Artificial Intelligence will combine technical courses in the fundamentals of AI and courses that address the interaction between AI and humans and society. During their coursework, students will build solid foundations in mathematics, statistics and computing and also obtain a broader view of human centered AI and its societal implications. Students will gain expertise in machine learning, deep learning, and AI-driven decision-making while exploring areas such as AI ethics, human-computer interaction, explainable AI, and policy considerations. The program prepares graduates to develop AI solutions that enhance human well-being, promote fairness, and integrate seamlessly into social and professional contexts. The program consists of 30-credit course work and is a non-thesis MS program. Students will be prepared for careers across disciplines and they will develop skills to be collaborative, adaptable problem solvers in a rapidly changing field.
