Artificial Intelligence, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

Credential: Certificate
Field of Study: Artificial Intelligence


Program Overview

The post-baccalaurate certificate in artificial intelligence provides an official and transcriptable recognition of successful completion of study in the field of artificial intelligence. The certificate can be awarded to current CWRU graduate students and other students who apply to this certificate program.

Admission

Graduate students shall be admitted to the certificate program upon recommendation of the faculty of the CS program. Requirements for admission include a strong record of scholarship in a completed bachelor's degree program in artificial intelligence, computer science, or related areas, and fluency in written and spoken English. 

The program requires applicants to have the background necessary to take advanced courses in Artificial Intelligence. Students should have knowledge equivalent to that in the courses:

CSDS 233Introduction to Data Structures4
MATH 122Calculus for Science and Engineering II4
or MATH 126 Math and Calculus Applications for Life, Managerial, and Social Sci II
MATH 307Linear Algebra3
or MATH 201 Introduction to Linear Algebra for Applications
MATH 380Introduction to Probability3-6
or STAT 301
STAT 302
Introduction to Probability for Statistics
and Introduction to Statistical Inference

Learning Outcomes

  • Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of artificial intelligence, computing, and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
  • Design, implement, and evaluate an artificial intelligence-based solution to meet a given set of requirements.
  • Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the discipline of artificial intelligence.
