The University of Georgia has always viewed 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. It 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. The Institute's strengths include Machine Learning, Robotics, Computer Vision, Neural and Deep networks, Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Natural Language Processing and Computational Psycholinguistics. Affiliated with the Institute are over 40 UGA faculty from seven colleges. 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
