Why does the WGU “Software Engineering” degree have a lot less math and no AI classes at all compared to the traditional comp sci? /u/heyyynobagelnobagel CSCQ protests reddit

Is this a practical versus theory thing? Also, given that WGU just added four AI specific classes to their comp sci degree, and how much everyone is screaming about AI, it seems strange that the “Software Engineering” degree has none.

I’ve just spent the last year and a half learning C++ and then relearning high school math to get ready to start their comp sci degree. The math doesn’t scare me, but I’m now getting a bit of cold feet and rethinking things.
