Program Overview

In our innovative Applied A.I. Solutions Development one-year graduate certificate program, you'll immerse yourself in a cross-disciplinary blend of computer science, mathematics, and business, equipping you with the expertise to craft solutions across industries using artificial intelligence (A.I.), machine learning, deep learning, and data science/analytics.

This unique program merges computer science, math, and business with a design-thinking approach to produce machine-learning/deep-learning models and intuitive dashboards to communicate results and findings. As a student, you'll also receive comprehensive training in tailoring your presentations to target audiences, including technical experts, business stakeholders, and potential investors.

If you apply to the May 2024/25 intake for this program, you will start in May 2025. To begin your studies in May 2024, apply to the 2023/24 academic year.

As we advance further into this increasingly digital world, artificial intelligence and data science will revolutionize most industries by optimizing business processes and automating decision-making in many white-collar jobs. As a student in the Applied A.I. Solutions Development one-year graduate certificate program, you'll gain the skills to provide existing businesses and emerging startups with the tools they need to thrive in the digital revolution.

This three-semester program uses a hands-on, applied approach to the field of A.I., giving you the broad range of skills needed to excel in this booming industry.

We'll teach you to develop and apply machine-learning/deep-learning models, giving you a fundamental understanding of the underlying mathematical algorithms that power them. This combination of knowledge and skills will allow you to identify and select algorithms for different uses, build and fine-tune models, and communicate the resulting data––bridging the traditional roles of data scientist, machine-learning engineer, and business translator.
