Artificial Intelligence (M.S. with a major in AI Hardware and Systems)

Wayne State University

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an area of study that explores how to endow machines with the ability to learn, make decisions, reason about data, and communicate with humans. In the Wayne State University’s Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MSAI) program, students learn to apply problem-solving, creative thinking, algorithmic design, and computer programming skills to build modern AI systems.

Students will gain deep technical training and expertise in a selected concentration area, which include AI Hardware and Systems, AI Algorithm and Systems, and Industrial AI. The program prepares students to (1) work as engineers, consults and entrepreneurs in industries where AI can provide a competitive edge, or (2) pursue a Ph.D. degree in computer science, electrical engineering, industrial and systems engineering, or other related fields.

The proposed program requires 30 credits for graduation, either Plan A (24 credits of coursework plus 6 credits of master’s thesis) or Plan C (30 credits of coursework).
