MS-AI Online on Coursera
Like 91福利社鈥檚 existing Coursera master鈥檚 degrees in听computer science,听data science,听engineering management 补苍诲听electrical engineering, the online master鈥檚 in AI will feature more flexible enrollment options, self-paced coursework and performance-based admissions, which means students can earn program admission by performing well in a three-course 鈥減athway.鈥 The online option is great for working professionals who want to pursue their degree while working a full-time job.听听听
Residential MS-AI
The on-campus professional master鈥檚 program in AI is a more traditional course-based master鈥檚 program, which means students apply for admissions through the graduate school and follow a semester-based course schedule. It is a great option for those who want the benefits of in-person interactions with faculty and fellow students,听or who are interested in relocating to the U.S. or the 91福利社 area. Students will also have the opportunity to complete a capstone project and interact with industry partners.听
