Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence – BSAI
Proposed Study Plan BS (Artificial Intelligence) 4-Year Program (8 Regular Semester of 18 weeks each) (130 Credit Hours)
Program Structure
The BS (AI) program gives the students an in-depth knowledge they need to transform large and complex scenarios into actionable decisions. The program and its curriculum focuses on how complex inputs — such as knowledge, vision, language and huge databases — can be used to make decisions to enhance human capabilities. The curriculum of the BS (AI) program includes coursework in computing, mathematics, automated reasoning, statistics, computational modeling, introduction to classical artificial intelligence languages and case studies, knowledge representation and reasoning, artificial neural networks, machine learning, natural language processing, vision and symbolic computation. The program also encourages students to take courses in ethics and social responsibility, with the opportunity to participate in long term projects in which artificial intelligence can be applied to solve problems that can change the world for the better — in areas like agriculture, defense, healthcare, governance, transportation, e-commerce, finance and education.
Proposed Curriculum for BS (AI) Following are the proposed areas which are required to be covered to complete the degree. Covered areas consist of core courses (compulsory), foundation courses, general courses and electives.
