What else should you know?

The questions and answers below help you learn more about our program requirements and how to succeed as an online student at UofL and beyond.

  • Do I need a bachelor’s degree in a specific area?

A bachelor’s degree in any field from an accredited college or university is acceptable for entrance into the graduate degree in artificial intelligence in medicine online program. However, the successful applicant will need an undergraduate GPA (grade point average) of 3.0 or above (on a 4.0 scale). Students may be admitted provisionally with a 2.75 – 2.99 GPA but will need to maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher for all courses taken in the online MS in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine program to satisfy the degree requirements. 

  • Are the prerequisite courses offered online at UofL?

Yes, if a student has not completed the prerequisite courses in statistics and computer programming it is recommended that they work with Leigh Ann Elles, assistant director of engineering graduate programs at leigh.elles@louisville.edu to discuss options for enrolling in the required prerequisite classes. Please note that some of the prerequisite courses at UofL online fill up quickly.

  • What skills will this program help me learn?

Earning your graduate degree in artificial intelligence in medicine will help enhance your ability to effectively analyze medical problems and interpret complex data. Through completion of this online program, you can acquire expertise in key areas of artificial intelligence – including computation, modeling and simulation, machine learning, big data and advanced statistical analysis – and their direct application to medical data management, medical imaging, disease progression modeling, experimental (clinical and laboratory) data and healthcare information.

  • Can international students apply for the online MS in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine at UofL?

International students who want to use a student visa are not currently eligible for this program. However, they can complete the degree if they are staying in their home country. Students will not be awarded an I-20 for this online program.

  • Can I complete the online MS in artificial intelligence in medicine in one year?

While it is possible to complete the 30 credit hour program in one year, you would need to enroll full-time. That means four courses (or 12 credit hours) in the fall, four courses (or 12 credit hours) in the spring and two courses (or 6 credit hours) in the summer. 

We typically recommend that online students take 1-2 courses per semester (3 to 6 credit hours), especially when working simultaneously. Most students complete the program in two years.

Each student must take eight core courses (24 credit hours) and two elective courses (6 credit hours). Some of the courses are offered only in the spring, fall or summer semesters, so you would need to work closely with your academic advisor on mapping out the best degree plan for completion of your degree, while meeting your needs.
