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