Program Overview

Introduction to the University Program

The university offers a comprehensive education program in data science and AI, aiming to equip students with the skills to solve problems using data science and AI. The program is designed to provide a continuous education from the literacy level to the expert level plus.

Program Overview

The program is divided into several levels, including:

• Literacy Level (Academic Year 1 equivalent): Focuses on acquiring foundational knowledge of mathematics, data science, and AI, and developing basic skills to utilize them.
• Applied Foundation Level (Academic Year 2 equivalent): Builds on the literacy level, aiming to develop advanced foundational knowledge and practical skills that lead to the expert level.
• Expert Level (Graduate School equivalent): Aims to develop the ability to solve social problems using DS and AI technologies, connect DS and AI technologies with other fields, and teach DS and AI technologies.
• Expert Level Plus (Graduate School equivalent): Focuses on acquiring cutting-edge DS and AI technologies, including generative AI, and developing skills for responsible AI utilization.

Program Details

Literacy Level (Academic Year 1 equivalent, Science and Engineering)

The goal is to acquire foundational knowledge of mathematics, data science, and AI, and develop basic skills to utilize them. The program aims for MDASH Literacy Level certification in Academic Year 4 and MDASH Literacy Level Plus certification in Academic Year 6.

Literacy Level (Academic Year 1 equivalent, Medical and Dental)

Similar to the science and engineering literacy level, with the goal of acquiring foundational knowledge and developing basic skills. The program aims for MDASH Literacy Level and Literacy Level Plus certifications in Academic Year 5.

Applied Foundation Level (Academic Year 2 equivalent, Science and Engineering)

Builds on the literacy level, aiming to develop advanced foundational knowledge and practical skills. The program aims for MDASH Applied Foundation Level certification in Academic Year 5.

Applied Foundation Level (Academic Year 2 equivalent, Medical and Dental)

Also builds on the literacy level, with similar goals as the science and engineering applied foundation level.

Expert Level (Graduate School equivalent)

Aims to develop the ability to solve social problems using DS and AI technologies, connect DS and AI technologies with other fields, and teach DS and AI technologies.

Expert Level Plus (Graduate School equivalent)

Focuses on acquiring cutting-edge DS and AI technologies and developing skills for responsible AI utilization, including AI ethics and information law systems.

Teaching Fellow Cultivation Program (Graduate School equivalent)

Aims to develop not only DS and AI expertise but also the ability to teach, through teaching assistantships, to become a teaching fellow capable of leading classes.
