Naval Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Description

The Naval Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning program curriculum focuses on AI (including AI for business solutions and other applications), natural language processing, computer vision, computer programming (Python), machine learning, math, engineering, and statistics. It also spotlights building machine learning models that can predict, make decisions, and enhance human capabilities. The program will include case studies. 

Preparation

Students might consider high school courses in algebra, computers, and statistics to assist them in college study. However, these courses are not mandatory for enrollment.

Requirements

This program is currently offered exclusively to students participating in the United States Naval Community College (USNCC) partnership. Additional information about USNCC programs at Bismarck State College can be found on BSC's United States Naval Community College webpage.

Students who are not part of the USNCC program may instead consider the Intelligent Machine Learning program.

Students enrolled in this program must also complete the Naval Studies Certificate, which consists of the following courses offered through the United States Naval Community College (USNCC).
