[comp.ai] AI programs

	Hello. I'm an AI major (at the undergraduate level) at Carroll
	College, Waukesha Wis. The AI major here at Carroll is quite new (no
	one has graduated yet with AI), and I am wondering what other
	undergrad programs are like.   

	Our program is suffering from a lack of AI exposure, applied and
	theory. Basicly, the Dept. heads got together and "MADE" an AI major
	out of EXISTING classes here at Carroll College.

	The Psych and Philosophy classes that I have taken (that are required
	for the major-7 of them), have had nothing to offer in the way of AI
	in any respect.

	Yes, I am upset, and I would like to see what other undergrad programs
	are like. Also, our Dept. head claims that the major will "...prepare
	the Carroll AI student for work on a graduate level." I don't
	subscribe to his thinking. So hearing from graduate programs about
	what they are looking for in a student headed for graduate studies
	would also help quite a bit.

	Please reply via Email or a photocopy of the requirements/class
	content for your particular AI studies would be GREATLY appreciated.

	Thank-you for your time.
