MSE in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence

Program Overview

Penn’s Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (DSAI) prepares students for a wide range of data-driven and AI-powered careers, whether in technology and engineering, consulting, healthcare, science, policy-making, or understanding patterns in literature, art or communications.  Building on a shared foundation in statistics, optimization, machine learning, and algorithms, students can tailor their studies through two concentrations—Data Science, which includes coursework on data management and decision making, and Artificial Intelligence, which includes coursework on building systems that can perform tasks that require human intelligence.  The DSAI Program can typically be completed in one-and-a-half to two years.
