Students working on computer.

Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence

USF’s Artificial Intelligence program, pending approval for fall 2026, prepares students to create AI systems with technical excellence and ethical responsibility.

Prepare for a Career in AI

AI roles range from machine learning operations and large language model evaluation to human-centered engineering and user experience research. Here's what to expect at USF:

  • A Foundation in Theory and Practice — Develop programming skills and mathematical foundations to learn how AI systems work, why they fail, and how to improve them.
  • Human-Centered Design — Start with human needs and evaluate success based on human outcomes. Graduates emerge prepared to build AI that serves people rather than the other way around.
  • Ethics Integrated Throughout — Learn to measure bias quantitatively, adjust algorithms to ensure equitable treatment, and make informed decisions about when AI should and should not be applied.
  • Data Engineering Foundation — Build and deploy AI systems at scale with hands-on expertise in SQL, Big Data, and Cloud infrastructure, ensuring you're prepared for the technical realities of modern AI implementation.
