Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence

Saint Louis University's master's program in artificial intelligence prepares students to apply artificial intelligence methods both efficiently and ethically in order to solve difficult problems and impact the well-being of society. This graduate program provides students with a depth of knowledge regarding the models and technologies used to make advances in underlying artificial intelligence and machine learning. Through a partnership with faculty across the University, students may choose to apply these techniques in specialized areas of application such as:
Autonomous systems
Bioinformatics
Data science
Health outcomes
Image processing
Natural language processing
Students in SLU's artificial intelligence degree program engage in the theory of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) and in applying AI/ML in practice, including a culminating research thesis or team-based capstone project. Students also consider important questions regarding the impact of AI on society, implicit bias that may result from AI systems and the ethical development and deployment of technologies.

A bachelor's degree in a science, technology, engineering or math major (STEM) is typical. Most successful applicants have an undergraduate grade point average of 3.00 or better on a 4.00 scale. Applicants should have evidence of strong computational skills (generally through prior coursework in programming and data structures), as well as evidence of strong mathematical skills, (generally through prior coursework in calculus and statistics).

English Language Proficiency Requirements

Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency. Some examples of demonstrated English language proficiency include minimum score requirements for the following standardized tests:

IELTS minimum score of 6.5; Computer-based TOEFL (IBT) minimum score of 80; Paper-based TOEFL (PBT) minimum score of 550; PTE minimum score of 54.
