As Computer utilization becomes more sophisticated, analyzing problems and programming solutions requires advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithms to deal with Big Data such as machine learning, deep learning, data mining, and pattern recognition.  Undergraduate Computer Science degree coupled with Artificial Intelligence concentration gives students a competitive edge in today’s advance technological landscape.  It will also provide an avenue to pursue a Master Degree in leading Artificial Intelligence technologies solving complex problems like autonomous vehicles, big data mining, computer vision, and natural language processing, and medical robotics (or robotics in healthcare).
