Computer Science courses omit essential electrical engineering and transistor physics.
The issue is whether a field can be understood at a higher level, atop blackboxes. All abstractions leak, but some are good enough.
DL NNs are no where near being a science yet - it's empirical let's try this architecture. But... you could have a trade-school technician degree in present techniques that can be applied. Like an electrician.
You could also have a degree aimed at preparing you for graduate AI - which would include a lot of mathematics.
