Undergraduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence - Computing

The Undergraduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence - Computing is intended to provide a foundation in the principles and techniques of contemporary artificial intelligence (AI). It is also intended to provide the skills necessary to apply AI-based technologies to solve problems, evaluate both the technical performance of AI-based solutions and their potential ethical/societal implications, and communicate AI concepts and findings to others. 

The certificate is especially suited to students majoring in computer science, data science, computer systems engineering, and other mathematical and scientific fields.

Enrolling in the Certificate Program 

The certificate program is open to current undergraduate students. Students may enroll in the certificate program through Athena

  • Under Student Services, select My Programs, then Add Certificate. This should be done before you intend to graduate.
  • Once requirements for the certificate are completed, you may again use Athena to apply to graduate with the certificate. 

Program of Study

At least 16 credit hours are required to earn the certificate, as described below. Additionally,
some courses have MATH 1113 Precalculus as a minimal prerequisite.

Students completing the certificate must earn a grade of "C-" or better in each of the required
courses.

Descriptions of the courses can be found in the UGA Bulletin
