"AI majors will receive the same solid grounding in computer science and math courses as other computer science students. In addition, they will have additional course work in AI-related subjects such as statistics and probability, computational modeling, machine learning, and symbolic computation."

And it will still look less beneficial than a standard comp Sci degree unfortunately. The only good part is that the school is pretty prestigious, so not as bad. Hopefully we don't have another AI winter.

CMU Alum here (though I was ECE) - this description seems to make sense, all the 200 level courses are also CS reqs.

I was also surprised to find out they brought 15-151 (Math Foundations of Computer Science) back.
