Bachelor's in AI.
In 2019, Carnegie Mellon launched the first standalone B.S. in AI. Since then, 40+ universities have followed. For students entering college now, a four-year undergraduate degree in AI is a credible — and often sharper — alternative to traditional CS.
You want depth in ML from day one
Curriculum is optimized around reasoning, perception, and learning. Less systems, less theory — more NeurIPS-adjacent electives.
You want maximum optionality
Broadest job market, cleanest signal to employers, and the clearest path into a top AI master's if you want to specialize later.
Your interest is applied, not research
Data Science majors sit between stats and CS. Strong pipeline into analytics, BI, and applied-ML roles without a grad degree.
