The graduate certificate in Artificial Intelligence (AI) prepares students to utilize AI technologies in real-world applications. The certificate consists of 12 credits (4 graduate courses) taken from the list of courses of the graduate MS degree in Artificial Intelligence that must satisfy the following criteria:
- At least one course must be taken from the Artificial Intelligence bin of the MS-AI degree.
- Two additional courses must be taken from two distinct core bins of the MS-AI, other than the Artificial Intelligence bin.
- The remaining credits can be earned from any of the courses approved in the MS-AI degree listed in the graduate catalog or otherwise approved by the AI program, including preparatory courses, core courses, and Special Topics courses related to AI.
The certificate courses may subsequently be applied to a degree program at WPI, including the M.S. degree in Artificial Intelligence, the MS degree in Data Science, the MS degree in Computer Science, the MS degree in Mathematical Sciences, or the MS degree in Robotics Engineering, provided that the courses meet the requirements of that degree program. Students who have completed or are currently enrolled in a graduate degree at WPI (other than Artificial Intelligence) can double count graduate credits from their graduate degree to meet up to one-third of the graduate credits for a (subsequent) Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence.
