Students pursuing the minor in artificial intelligence will gain deep expertise and experience in AI topics.The Department of Computer Science offers a minor in artificial intelligence (AI) for students who wish to gain deep expertise and experience in AI topics. The program includes electives across the breadth of artificial intelligence, emphasizing a core understanding of the design and origin of AI. Students pursuing the AI minor will focus on the scientific concepts behind the development of these technologies and learn how the tools are built, not just how they are applied.
The AI minor is open to undergraduate students in all Northwestern majors, except students completing a BS in Computer Science or the WCAS Computer Science major. Those students can simply complete the artificial intelligence concentration within their computer science major/degree.
