WIU Introducing New Artificial Intelligence Minor Program
November 14, 2024
MACOMB, IL - - Western Illinois University is introducing a new minor in Applied Artificial Intelligence beginning in the Fall 2025 semester at the Macomb campus.
Students will be able to take an introductory computer science course with programming and follow it with a variety of courses to increase exposure and background in Artificial Intelligence.
The curriculum will introduce two new courses at WIU: Artificial Intelligence Exploration (CS 217) and Deep Learning with Applications (CS 463).
"We are excited about offering this new Applied Artificial Intelligence minor as it provides students an opportunity to learn about a rapidly growing technology they are likely to encounter in the workforce," Dennis DeVolder, Director of the WIU School of Computer Sciences, said. "Students entering their career paths with this skill set will have an advantage over those who do not have these skills."
