The University of Georgia views Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence as interdisciplinary fields where computer science meets philosophy, psychology, linguistics, engineering and other disciplines. Both fields are devoted to the study of cognition and intelligent systems. Artificial Intelligence is particularly interested in creating computer systems that behave intelligently. UGA’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence is an interdepartmental research and instructional unit jointly supported by the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost and the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. Its mission is to advance the science of AI, serve as a resource of extensive AI expertise for all, and facilitate profound societal impact through AI use cases. The Institute offers three degree programs: The Doctor of Philosophy in Artificial Intelligence, The Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence, The Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Science. In addition, the Institute participates in two combined undergraduate/graduate programs, allowing a student to earn within 5 years either an AB in Cognitive science or a BS in Computer science as well as MS in Artificial Intelligence. Affiliated with the Institute are over 70 UGA faculty from colleges across campus. We pride ourselves on the diversity of our student body and the ability of our programs to allow for the pursuit of personal research interests. Learn More about our Programs
