The M.S. in Information Science with a concentration in Agentic AI prepares students
to be at the forefront of integrating intelligent systems. LLMs enable AI systems
to flexibly accept voice and natural text as instructions for complex information
management and response tasks, and currently available multimodal (e.g., vision &
language) models provide capabilities beyond human-level abilities in an increasing
variety of complex tasks.
In addition, these rich, autonomous agents can be specialized and coordinate directly
with each other via both natural language and other means. The goal of this concentration
is to ensure that students are not only aware of these tools and techniques but also
have experience creating and augmenting information systems with them, building on
the expertise of our research faculty who manage multi-agent systems for problem-solving.
Completion of the concentration provides students with the skills and competencies
to gain strategic and tactical competitive advantage by orchestrating multiple, specialized
AI-based agents for complex information system designs and problem-solving.
