Leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Bachelor of Science in Applied AI

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence (BSAI) at Wentworth Institute of Technology is an interdisciplinary, career-focused program designed to prepare graduates to apply AI ethically and effectively across diverse industries. BSAI integrates a technical core with application domain-specific pathways in Business Management, Computing, Construction Management, and Life Sciences, with future expansion into Design, Technology, and other growth fields.

 Program Educational Objectives

• Apply principles of artificial intelligence to develop and deploy AI-driven solutions in real-world settings across industry, government, or nonprofit sectors.
• Collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teams, integrating AI techniques with domain-specific knowledge in fields such as business, computing, or the life sciences.
• Demonstrate awareness of the ethical, legal, and societal implications of AI systems, and contribute to the development of responsible, transparent, and fair AI solutions.
• Engage in lifelong learning, professional development, or graduate education in AI or related areas.
• Communicate complex AI concepts, findings, and decisions effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Student Outcomes

• Analyze a complex problem, and apply principles of computing, data science, and AI to identify and formulate effective solutions.
• Design, implement, and evaluate an AI-based solution to meet a given set of requirements, informed by domain knowledge in an area of application.
• Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
• Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in AI practice based on legal and/or ethical principles.
• Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.

Four-Year Program

Total Required Credits: 120

This is a four-year full-time program, which begins in the fall semester of the student's first year and is planned to end after the summer semester of the student's fourth year. 

ENGL/HSS Note

Students are required to complete:

• At least one course in Humanities: CSAS, HSSI, HIST, HUMN, LITR and PHIL
• At least one course in the Social Sciences: CSAS, HSSI, COMM, ECON, ENVM, POLS, PSYC and SOCL
• The remaining course from either the Humanities or Social Sciences category. 

Students with a three English course sequence may use the third English course to satisfy a Humanities requirement.

A minimum of 20 credits total, including English, humanities, and social science credit, is required to complete the humanities and social sciences graduation requirement.

At least one of the HSS electives must be an Ethics course.

Math Placement may alter the course schedule above. 

Science Electives

Domain Electives

Students will choose one of several application domains to contextualize their AI education. These domains include both foundational and advanced coursework from a partner discipline, allowing students to apply AI techniques to domain-specific challenges.

A total of 28 semester credit hours of domain electives must be taken as part of the program. Eight of those credits must be STEM courses. Students declare their chosen domain by the end of their first term.

It currently offers the following domains:

• Business Management:
• Computing
• Construction Management
• Life Sciences

 Their curriculum structure and course list are shown below.
