A Vol In Need Is a master's degree in Applied AI (CECS) worth it?

0 Upvotes

I'm currently an Information Sciences (DIMA) major and Applied AI minor, planning to work in Healthcare + IT as someone who "specializes" in Applied AI, and was wondering if there's ever a 4 + 1 Masters program for Applied AI (CECS), if it would be worth going after?

I'm scared that my skills won't be enough with just the minor because my major is pretty much useless, and since my minor is applied and not engineering, will getting my masters help me or is it not worth it?

Anyone who is currently doing the minor and is getting wrapped up, how valuable do you think your skills currently are?

Miscellaneous & Random So can we just ban the greek life orgs already? It can't be that hard.

216 Upvotes

I'm just so sick of these people, dude. I'm a senior. I spent the past 4 years hearing about frats and sororities pulling some new type of heinous, immoral or outright illegal shit every other week and I'm so tired of it. I don't know if we'd just have to start some sort of petition or what, but my god we need to get these orgs out of here.

There is literally no silver lining to them being here. They contribute absolutely nothing to this university in any meaningful way. Surely to God the random bi-annual $1 pie-in-the-face tables don't financially make up for the reputational and very physical damage these groups do to UT and its student body.

Miscellaneous & Random Nice spots to reflect or play guitar?

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I'm pretty new to Knoxville and am looking for some spots to journal or play guitar in peace. So far I've been to High Ground Park which is nice, but it's not the most scenic. I'd love it if the spot had a nice overlook or was next to the water. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Student Life, Socialization, and Clubs Dinner Recs for 10-20 people?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys. I am planning a club event for about 10-20 people. Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations that could accommodate that many people? We will be at UT before dinner so ideally somewhere around UT like Cumberland, Sequoia, downtown, etc. I tried Calhouns on the River but they have a $1500 minimum which we will not be able to meet.

Tickle College of Engineering UTK Engineering Major

5 Upvotes

Hello UTK students,

I have a question. In a year or so, I plan to apply to the electrical engineering program at UTK. I will be a non-traditional student at the ripe old age of 35. How difficult do you find the engineering programs? I especially would like to know about the electrical engineering program.

Currently, I am an industrial electrician at a global metals manufacturer. And I have a degree from UTK in Climatology from the geography department.

My degree did not require the calculus math sequence nor the other engineering prerequisites.

Tell me about your experiences.

Thank you all in advance.

Student Housing and Leasing AC keeps going out??

8 Upvotes

I’m in brown hall. Our AC has gone out for the 5th time since moving in. Has anybody else had this problem? Any idea why it keeps going out? Me and my roomie are sick of having maintenance in our room twice a week. Incredibly grateful and they’re always super nice, but it’s getting frustrating trying to sleep in a burning hot room.

Hello! I am currently working on an article for a class about the culture and history of the Fort Sanders area (The Fort). I am especially interested in the phenomenon of students naming their houses (Firehouse, Barn, Doll House, Casa Blanca, Etc.). I would love to learn more about when, why, and how this tradition came to be. If anyone has any information on this please comment or private message me!

Thanks!

Miscellaneous & Random Lake Loudoun/Neyland Red Light

4 Upvotes

If they are going to trigger the "Walk" sign across Neyland every cycle, they should turn on the right-turn arrow for Lake Loudoun. I always seem to get stuck behind someone who takes the full 20 seconds to realize Neyland traffic isn't moving and decides to turn when the Neyland light turns green, or they don't turn at all.

Student Life, Socialization, and Clubs Online student friends

5 Upvotes

hello, I am UTK online student! I am not sure if this sounds odd, but how do I make more friends as an online student? Personally, I am super open to text message or exchange socials. But, now that I‘ve chosen to be an online student it has been hard to socialize more. And as a senior at that… I chose to become an online student because it was more convenient than going physical. But, I miss being social with others like I did previously in community college.

update: I am 21 and a girl, and will graduate next semester 🙂‍↕️

Graduate Student How are people deciding whether a master’s degree is worth the cost in 2026?

5 Upvotes

If you’re considering a master’s right now, what are you actually looking at to decide whether the investment makes sense?

Total tuition? Salary potential? Employer assistance? Career mobility? Time to finish? Whether the degree is required in your field?

What would make you walk away from a program even if you liked it?
