Angelo State University Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence (Online Option)

This is a bachelor's degree in artificial intelligence with a fully online option. The program page leaves out the credit count, price and schedule, so treat it as a strong lead to verify, and get the missing details in writing before you apply.

S.) in Artificial Intelligence with an online option. It says the school is "one of the few schools in Texas to offer our AI degree programs online," and it gives applicants a way to say they want to finish the program fully online.

That is the main reason the program is on this list: a four-year AI degree you can complete from home is still uncommon.

Angelo State University is a public university in San Angelo, Texas, and part of the Texas Tech University System.

The page confirms an online option and a fully online choice for applicants, and it does not say whether classes meet live or run on your own schedule. It also does not say whether every course in the degree is offered online or only most of them.

That matters for a working adult. A program with weekly live sessions needs you free at set times, while a self-paced one lets you study at night. Ask for a sample semester schedule, and ask whether any required course, lab or exam has to be taken on campus.

Who It Fits

• You live in Texas, or want a Texas school, and need a bachelor's in AI that you can take online instead of moving.
• You are starting a bachelor's from scratch and want AI named on the diploma rather than a general computer science degree with an AI elective.
• You are comfortable doing some legwork, because the details you need most (credits, tuition, schedule) have to come from the school directly.

Who Should Skip It

• You need a price before you commit. Get a written number from an advisor before you compare this program against the cheaper bachelor's options.
• You want a program with a published schedule, term length and start dates you can plan a job around. Ask the school for them in writing before you apply.

The program page names the degree as a Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence. It does not list courses, a credit total or a capstone, so we won't describe the curriculum beyond the degree title.

When you talk to the school, ask for the full degree plan and read it like a hiring manager would. Look for programming and data structures in the first year, then linear algebra, probability and statistics, and machine learning courses that come with real coding assignments.

A degree that is mostly survey courses about AI will leave you with less to show an employer than one where you train models and write code every semester.

Standout Features

• On-campus Regional Security Operations Center and Texas DIR Data Center internships
• Partnerships with leading AI companies, government agencies and nonprofits for internships and industry-relevant capstone projects

You will need to ask for the price. Check any number you see elsewhere against a written quote from the school.

Because this is a bachelor's degree, the total depends heavily on how many credits you transfer in. Ask what the per-credit rate is, whether online students pay the same rate as on-campus students, which fees are added per term, and whether the rate is locked for the length of your enrollment. Also ask whether Texas residents pay a different rate than students in other states.

You would graduate with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Artificial Intelligence. Ask the school which accreditation covers the degree itself and what accreditation the university holds.

For an AI career, the degree title matters less than the portfolio behind it. Employers hiring for entry-level machine learning work look at the projects you built, so ask whether the program includes a senior project, an internship option or undergraduate research.

The full rubric is on the methodology page.

• You will need the credits, tuition and term format from the school before you can judge the time or cost of the degree.
• The page confirms an online option but does not confirm that every course can be taken online, so a required on-campus piece is possible until the school says otherwise.
• Our review of this program has low confidence. Treat everything here as a starting point.

• Is the program page on angelo.edu the one that governs admission and tuition for the online option?
• How many credits does the degree require, and how many can I transfer in from a community college or earlier coursework?
• What is the total cost for an online student, including per-term fees, and is the rate guaranteed for the length of the program?
• Can I complete every course online, or is any lab, exam or capstone on campus?
• Do classes meet live at set times, or can I work through them on my own schedule?
• Which accreditation covers this degree, and does the program prepare me for graduate study in AI or computer science?
