Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence (AI) uses computers and technology to achieve the outcomes of human problem-solving and decision-making abilities. It comprises methods to solve easy problems for humans but hard for digital computers, such as Natural Language Understanding, Natural Language Generation, and Image Understanding. AI is over six decades old, but recently there have been significant breakthroughs in the field. As a result of this progress, industries have a greater demand for graduates to design sophisticated AI systems. The AI Graduate Certificate from NJIT will teach students how to use AI to solve real-world problems and design and deploy AI solutions for large-scale systems and applications. The curriculum will balance theoretical concepts and practical knowledge applied to real-life AI systems and processes. This program is suitable for many people with a quantitative background or experience dealing with data and who would like to obtain some grounding in artificial intelligence. Examples include software engineers who want to complement their programming skills with Machine Learning and Deep Learning modeling skills, pharmaceutical data analysts who explore the transition from traditional statistical analytics to contemporary deep learning models, and many more. In this program you’ll gain 12 credits that can be applied to NJIT master’s programs, and learn: Students who pass the AI certification program will implement state-of-the-art AI models using various software and hardware tools. Students of the program will expand upon existing AI technologies and identify areas where to apply these technologies.

To be considered for a Graduate Certificate program at NJIT, you must have completed a Bachelor's degree, or its equivalent elsewhere, and demonstrate high academic achievement in an appropriate discipline.
