Overview

This Honors program in Computing Science, Artificial Intelligence option, covers foundations in machine learning, reinforcement learning, search, and ethics, together with applications such as robotics, games, visual recognition, and natural language processing.

The department's research strengths include artificial intelligence, robotics, multimedia, computer games, software and database systems, and machine learning. Graduates commonly pursue roles such as artificial intelligence specialist, application developer, robotics engineer, software engineer, systems analyst, and video game designer.
