Software Development - Artificial Intelligence (Certificate)

Location(s): Main Campus



Program Summary

Software development is an in-demand and high-paying field and is an ideal career path for driven individuals with technical aptitude. This certificate in software development is designed to teach the technical skill set and provide students with a solid foundation of knowledge to confidently move forward in the world of software development.
 
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most rapidly expanding fields in technology today. With the advancement of machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and other AI-related technologies, AI is becoming an integral part of how businesses operate, how people interact with devices, and how we can make sense of the world. As such, studying AI is essential for anyone interested in leveraging the power of technology to solve real-world problems. Another key reason to study artificial intelligence is to learn how algorithms can be used to crunch large volumes of data quickly and accurately. By using machine learning algorithms and neural networks, AI systems are able to identify patterns and correlations in data that can help companies make better decisions or uncover valuable insights about customers, products, and markets.
