Three-year Accelerated Study Plan
The three-year accelerated study plan offers an exceptional opportunity for motivated students to complete their Bachelor of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Engineering (AiCE) in a condensed timeframe.This pathway is particularly well-suited for students who enter with pre-matriculation credits, such as those earned through Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), A-Level coursework, or dual-enrollment college programs. These credits can significantly reduce the course load required each term, paving the way for a timely graduation.
With strategic planning and the application of eligible credits, students can chart a clear course toward earning their B.Eng in AiCE in just three years—whether you plan to launch your career sooner or pursue graduate studies ahead of the traditional schedule. This streamlined path enables greater flexibility while maintaining the academic excellence expected from our program.
