Professional Certificate – Applied AI for Professional Practice (Summer 2026)
June 1 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future skill—it is a present professional reality. But organizations need more than AI users. They need professionals who can integrate AI thoughtfully, responsibly, and strategically. In this eight-week course, participants will move from conceptual understanding of AI to real-world solution design; build and test AI-enabled prototypes aligned with real organizational challenges; analyze risk, bias and sustainability impacts; develop implementation plans grounded in accountability and feasibility; and present and articulate choice-making and decisions with external mentors and industry experts.
*No previous AI experience required.*
