About the Certificate

The Fox School of Business and Management offers the Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence Management (AIM) for working professionals who want to develop the strategic and applied skills needed to lead AI initiatives within their organizations. The 9-credit certificate is built from the same core courses as the MS in AIM program and can typically be completed in two to three semesters. Students begin with AI Fundamentals for Business Leaders and then select two additional courses spanning data management for AI systems, prototyping with generative AI, AI agent design, responsible AI and ethics, and emerging AI technologies. No technical or coding prerequisites are required, and the online delivery format is designed to accommodate full-time work schedules. Credits earned in the certificate can be applied toward the full MS in AIM for students who choose to continue their studies, providing a low-risk entry point into a graduate AI credential.

Campus Location: Online

Full-Time/Part-Time Status: The graduate certificate can be completed on a part-time basis. NOTE: International students may not be eligible to apply for a student visa based on admission to the certificate program. Please contact the Fox School's admissions advisor for more information.
