The Graduate Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence requires at least 12 hours of graduate study, at least half of which must be courses at the 700-level or above with the CSCE designator, completed within a period of six years before the award of the certificate. The Certificate requires a Core Course, followed by the opportunity for a concentration to be chosen by the students in consultation with their advisors and the CSE Graduate Director. Example concentrations include knowledge representation and reasoning, computer vision, natural language processing, reasoning under uncertainty, and machine learning.
The 12 hours must include one core course:
