Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence

University of Nebraska at Omaha

The Artificial Intelligence concentration is intended to enable students to learn about the principal technologies and methods for programming autonomous behavior on software agents and robots as well as learn about the computational approaches towards solving problems that deemed to require human intelligence. Students will gain knowledge about the reasoning, planning and learning techniques and algorithms used by software agents for natural language understanding, and by robots and game-avatars for problem solving, mobility, and strategic decision making. Taking courses in this track will provide students the essential skills for writing programs for real-world problems that require software programs and robots to mimic human behavior and assist humans in performing complex, risky and tedious tasks. Students will also have an opportunity to participate in national and international AI and game programming competitions and do capstone course projects to explore selective topics in more in-depth manner.The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science provides students with a solid background in the fundamentals of computing and prepares them for employment in a wide variety of positions and for graduate study in computer science. The content of the department’s courses is continually monitored to ensure they are consistent with fast-changing developments in the discipline. Courses are offered in the day, evening, and some online sections for the convenience of our students. Appropriate university and departmental computing resources are available to students taking computer science courses
