AI and machine learning have become driving forces in modern society, and Tulane's AI minor is built to teach students how AI systems work from the ground up, giving them the skills to design, implement, and build AI systems that address real-world problems. On the requirements side, the program blends core algorithmic and computer science foundations with expertise in the fast-moving AI field, positioning students both for industry roles and for graduate study. 

In short: it's not just theory — students leave able to actually build AI systems, which makes them competitive for both AI-industry jobs and advanced academic programs.

To declare the major/minor in the Department of Computer Science, please complete and sign the major declaration form and email it to Ms. Debbie Ramil (dramil1@tulane.edu), who will assign you a major advisor, obtain the corresponding advisor's and the departmental chair's signatures for your form, and return the form to you. The completed form needs to be submitted to the Advising Office.  When the major declaration form is processed, you will be added to the CS students mailing list. In order to enhance your CS education, you may also wish to join computing-focused student organizations, such as Cookies and Code, Women in Technology, and Girls Who Code. Their info is on WaveSync.

If your major advisor does not reach out, you may want to contact them to introduce yourself or to set up a meeting.

It is helpful and convenient to have a laptop. We don’t have a computer lab, and students work on their own laptops to complete most programming assignments. Model and make don’t matter; any modern laptop with Wi-Fi and a battery works.
