My university recently introduced a new catalog that allows students to concentrate on artificial intelligence or data science. If I picked either one, it would take me another semester to graduate because I would have to take 3-4 additional courses. Up until now I have been following the old catalog which does not require these extra concentrations. Here are the old and new catalogs:

new catalog

I have already taken artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining. If I choose artificial intelligence concentration, I have 3 classes left for the requirements, but if I go with data analytics it's 4.
I'm almost done with my degree in computer science according to the old catalog (16 credits left). I'm wondering if it's worth it to have a concentration and go to school an extra semester, or should I stick to the old catalog and save time & money? If so, do you recommend artificial intelligence or data science concentration? How is the job market for them? Thanks.
