Robotics and Autonomous Systems ,BS
Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Robotics, Robots, approved for STEM-OPT extension
Are you interested in constructing our future with robots? Learn to meet the most difficult challenges of modern robotics and autonomous systems on a global scale. You'll find rewarding careers in every industrial sector, including aerospace, space, defense, medical and industrial manufacturing.
Autonomous systems are those that can work for an extended period without human control or intervention --- such as driverless cars or autonomous mobile robots.
The BS program in robotics and autonomous systems provides students with a well-rounded education in robotics, controls, autonomous systems and automation. It is intended primarily for those who desire to develop general expertise in robotics and autonomous systems, including both theory and application of robotics and autonomous systems technologies, systems integration and data fusion techniques, and modeling and simulation development.
Students learn to perform analysis, evaluation and synthesis for a wide variety of problems related to the design, implementation and efficient operation of robotics and autonomous systems.

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
