The Artificial Intelligence Certificate introduces students to the core concepts, tools, and applications of artificial intelligence (AI). Through a structured sequence of coursework, students will explore foundational topics such as machine learning, data analysis, natural language processing, and ethical considerations in AI development and deployment.
This certificate emphasizes both theoretical understanding and practical skills, preparing students for further study or for entry-level roles that utilize AI technologies in business, healthcare, manufacturing, and other data-driven industries.
Upon completion of the certificate, students will be able to:
-
Describe the principles and scope of artificial intelligence, including its historical development and current trends.
-
Apply basic machine learning techniques to analyze and interpret structured data.
-
Implement simple AI models using modern programming tools and libraries.
-
Evaluate ethical and societal impacts of AI, including issues of bias, transparency, and accountability.
-
Communicate technical findings and AI-related concepts effectively to diverse audiences.
The Artificial Intelligence Certificate may serve as a stand-alone credential or as a foundation for further coursework in data science, computer science, or information technology programs.
