AI Degree in the USA: The US offers numerous top universities for studying artificial intelligence and data science. However, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ranks first in the QS World University Rankings by Subject. Carnegie Mellon University is a close second, just a few points behind. Both universities performed well in the QS rankings in categories such as research, employability, and academic reputation, both in the US and abroad.

MIT, located in Cambridge, ranked first in the QS rankings with a score of 98. Similarly, Carnegie Mellon University, located in Pittsburgh, scored 95.5. If you're interested in pursuing a degree in data science and AI, this university should be your first choice. Now the question arises: which is the best institution to study at, how many points did each one score in each category, and how much in fees would one have to pay to study at either? Let's find out the answer.

MIT or Carnegie, which is the best of the two?
