Analyze Data and Implement AI Solutions with Illinois Tech’s M.A.S. in Data Science with Artificial Intelligence
Data science remains a highly in-demand field, and the growing interest in incorporating artificial intelligence into businesses and industries is only increasing. In partnership with the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, our M.A.S. in Data Science with AI will help you learn how to implement AI solutions within data-driven business contexts. This program includes an AI specialization that will train you to develop a deep understanding of big data technologies and how to develop future-forward solutions to arising problems.
Program Overview
Our master's in data science with artificial intelligence instills a two-thirds foundation in data science that ensures you can work with real-world data and communicate insights effectively, while also having the ability to utilize your AI specialization to leverage modern tools, such as LLMs, and master data preparation. This program offers in-person and online learning options and provides you with the ability to thrive in the growing middle market of companies that are implementing AI into their frameworks. After completing roughly two years of study (33 credit hours), you will know how to implement modern solutions within AI-centered business contexts and be able to help enterprises undergoing a digital transformation analyze data and deploy practical AI applications.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of our master’s in data science with AI are prepared for various careers in data science and AI, including:
