The Raj and Neera Singh Program in Artificial Intelligence
Penn Engineering is at the forefront of AI education, offering both undergraduate and graduate programs that equip students to lead in this rapidly evolving field.
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) in Artificial Intelligence, the first Ivy League B.S.E. in AI, provides a solid foundation in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics, preparing students to drive innovation across engineering disciplines. Jointly administered by the Departments of Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE) and Computer and Information Science (CIS), the program equips students to apply AI in areas such as vision and language, data and society, robotics, and health systems.
The Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) in Artificial Intelligence Online is designed for professionals with backgrounds in computer science, computer engineering, or related fields. It offers in-depth coursework in classical AI, natural language processing, generative AI, and modern deep learning, delivered through a flexible, asynchronous format and supported by a robust ethical framework.
Whether on campus or online, Penn Engineering’s AI programs empower students to drive innovation and shape the future of artificial intelligence.
