Artificial Intelligence Curriculum for an AI-enabled Workforce

Every Pace student, regardless of major, can begin their artificial intelligence studies with the curriculumÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™s foundational course, CIS 101, offering the basics of AI to any student, including those with no prior computer programming or data science knowledge. By instilling a solid understanding of AI from the start, our students can confidently navigate an increasingly AI-powered world.

Educating Our Students for the Jobs of Today and Tomorrow

Expanding Our AI Curriculum

Pace offers over 11 undergraduate and 17 graduate courses, with plans to expand the number of courses offering AI-infused curriculum. The Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems is currently planning to launch two new artificial intelligence masterÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™s programs, a MS in AI and a MS in Applied AI. Not only can Pace students learn how to build the technology of tomorrow, but also learn how to apply it in new and innovative ways.
