Program Tabs

Program

The Graduate Certificate in Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI) provides graduate students with the opportunity to reach a demonstrated level of competence in the area of Artificial Intelligence and to apply their knowledge to the solution of practical problems. 

Coursework towards the certificate can be used for credit towards the M.S. in Computer Science degree. However, its primary purpose is to provide a well-defined target for students who want to advance their knowledge of modern AI systems and techniques but do not necessarily wish to complete all requirements for a master’s degree. The certificate may be pursued concurrently with any of the graduate degree programs at UNC Charlotte.

The program is 100% online and designed to be flexible for working professionals hoping to continue their education. 

The Certificate in AAI can be completed in as little as 1 semester if enrolled full-time, and 2-3 semesters if enrolled part-time.

Graduates of the program will learn critical skills for positions in the field of Applied Artificial Intelligence. Career examples include but are not limited to:

Artificial Intelligence Managers • Engineers and Architects • Machine Learning Data Scientists • Data Scientists • Data Scientist Managers
