Admissions
Curriculum
The online Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine is a 30 credit hour (10 course) program, with each course delivered in a 15-week course format (fall/spring) or 10-week (summer), 100% online. Each student must take 8 core courses (24 credit hours) and 2 elective courses (6 credit hours). Some of the courses are offered only in the spring, fall or summer semesters, therefore, it is important to work with your academic advisor on mapping out the best course for degree completion. Students will need to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA or higher for graduate courses to satisfy the degree requirements. All program requirements must be completed within six years of admission into the program.
