Artificial Intelligence is the study of computing machines that approximate thinking using complex algorithms. In this area, you will develop methods by which computing machines think, and then train those machines using datasets in a particular application area. Once properly trained, the artificial intelligence algorithm can make automated decisions based on real-time inputs.

Our graduate certificate in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning covers the basics in the field, and utilizes foundational and advanced algorithms. You'll receive formal training of applications and techniques for those working in Computer Science, Data Science and Electrical Engineering. The certificate program is application focused and provides you with a collection of tools that can be taken to the workforce and applied in a variety of application areas.

You will also learn the theoretical aspects of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning to enable you to develop custom algorithms for their specific needs.
