Bachelor of Science with major in Artificial Intelligence

School of Engineering and Computer Science

Sample schedule for the 2025-2026 academic year

This is a schedule of how a Artificial Intelligence major placed into MTH 1554 and WRT 1060 upon entering OU could complete all degree requirements

within a 4-year period of time. Students placing into a different math/writing course will need to discuss with their SECS Academic Adviser how to adjust this plan.

Students need to select General Education courses that also satisfy U.S. Diversity and Writing Intensive in General Education to avoid taking additional courses.

This plan is only an example and students are responsible for verifying major requirements with an academic adviser and for reading the undergraduate catalog

for all degree requirements. Courses in bold are required for Major Standing to take upper level courses.
