Bachelor's to Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence / Fast Track Program

The Bachelor’s to Master’s in Artificial Intelligence Fast Track option allows qualified undergraduates from any major at Lewis to complete the graduate Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MSAI) program in just one year. Upon completion of at least 75 credit hours including the following courses and achieving a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, a student becomes eligible to apply for a Bachelor’s to Master’s Fast Track Program by completing the Fast Track application.

CPSC 20000Introduction to Computer Science3
or DATA 20000 Introduction to Data Science
CPSC 21000Programming Fundamentals3
Any general education math course. Students who complete both MATH 22000 Applied Probability and Statistics and MATH 30500 Linear Algebra may replace DATA 50000 with an elective.

Once accepted, the student may take up to twelve (12) graduate hours to satisfy specific course requirements in the Master’s program, and up to nine (9) of those graduate hours may count towards a Bachelor’s degree. Students must earn a “B” or better in each graduate course they take toward their MSAI requirements. A student who successfully completes twelve graduate hours as an undergraduate will have 24 credit hours remaining to complete the program versus 36 credit hours required to complete the MSAI degree in the traditional way. Note that admission to the Fast Track Program is not an automatic admission to the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence program. A student will still need to apply and be accepted to the MSAI program provisionally, contingent on completing the baccalaureate degree.
