New master’s in artificial intelligence engineering offered at WashU

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought an urgent need for proficiency in not just using, but also developing and improving, AI systems.

Beginning in fall 2027, a new master’s in artificial intelligence engineering, offered by the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the WashU McKelvey School of Engineering, will uniquely position graduate students to compete for high-demand positions that require proficiency in engineering AI systems.

The program is designed to equip students with a deep understanding of the computational techniques and systems involved in engineering the systems needed to use AI.

The master’s degree requires a minimum of 30 credit hours, with 18 credit hours of core requirements and 12 credit hours of electives. Students must maintain an average grade of B- (GPA 2.7) for all 30 credit hours.

Applications will be accepted beginning Sept. 1.
