AI and Data Science Certificate

Data is changing the way our society makes decisions. AI and Data Science are enabling us to design and develop solutions that help solve complex data-driven problems.

Students in the AI and Data Science Certificate program learn the fundamentals of how to formulate a data-driven AI problem, store, manage, analyze, and model data to turn data into actions.

Who should register 

Working professionals with experience in the related field of AI and data analysis as well as young professionals seeking a career in AI and Data Science who have:

• Experience with programming (must) and data analysis (optional)
• College-level basics of statistics, probability theory, linear algebra, calculus (Note: Although we will not thoroughly teach them again, we will review them when they are used)

Learning format

In this program with three modules, one per quarter, we examine concepts, elements, strategies, and skills covering the general discipline of AI and Data Science. The instruction is based on practical examples of AI and Data Science applications in a variety of areas within the industry as well as in academic research.

Building on theoretical foundations from lectures, exercises, discussions and quizzes, students gain hands-on experience through workshops/tutorials with related independent assignments. The series culminates in milestone projects that demonstrate comprehensive AI and Data Science skills.
