What Makes Computer Science Different at USF?
A Career in Artificial Intelligence with Computer Science
Master’s degrees launch AI professionals to new heights in their careers. Employees with AI-related master’s degrees are in high demand across a range of industries, and the salaries they’ll earn are higher than those of their counterparts who hold only undergraduate degrees. Explore career paths, skillsets, and outcomes for AI professionals.
Our CS students learn to code with humanity in mind. They not only build amazing things, but they understand what fundamental problems need fixing, who are those most vulnerable, and how we might make things better through tech.”
