In addition to many amazing opportunities, I am also able to get my master's degree in one year of graduate school after my four years of undergraduate school with the 4+1 program. Additionally, I will be able to get a specialization in artificial intelligence, which is something that you can't do anywhere else in the state. This gives me a large advantage when looking for a job after college.
