A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

- Description
- The Master in Artificial Intelligence (MAI) at Utah Tech University is a professionally oriented graduate program designed to prepare students to address complex, real-world problems through the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methodologies. The program emphasizes rigorous, project-based learning in high-demand domains such as computer vision, natural language processing, intelligent agents, and generative AI. Through applied coursework and faculty-mentored projects, students will develop advanced competencies in designing, implementing, and deploying end-to-end machine learning pipelines for industry-driven challenges. The program is designed for industry professionals seeking to design, implement, and deploy AI tools in practice, rather than preparing students for a PhD program. The MAI builds directly on the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, which comprises the first 15 credits of the program and serves as a stackable credential within the degree. Five foundational courses (three lecture-based and two project-based courses) are included in the certificate, which are listed in the table of program-required courses. Five additional advanced courses will be introduced in the second year, which extend the applied emphasis of the certificate by guiding students toward domain-specific implementations such as Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision. Advanced Deep Learning will cover state-of-the-art architectures and optimization strategies in other domains. Students will integrate and apply AI techniques to real-world problems in two consecutive project courses. This structure provides students with an interim, workforce-relevant credential while maintaining a clear pathway toward the completion of the full master’s degree. Compared with Utah Valley University’s M.S. in Applied AI program, which targets business and management professionals with no technical background, the MAI program focuses on students with computing skills and emphasizes hands-on, technical AI tool development (refer to the similar program table for details).
