Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Certificate Program

The University of Miami Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Fundamentals Certificate Program is an introductory, no-prerequisite program for anyone who wants to build a foundation in AI and explore careers in one of today's fastest-growing fields.

Rather than starting with theory, the program starts with real applications. Students explore how AI works with data, images and language, picking up the math and programming skills they need along the way. The Fundamentals program is the first of three progressive levels, so students can keep building their expertise after they finish.

AI is changing how organizations analyze data, make decisions and serve customers. This program gives students a clear, hands-on introduction to the core concepts and tools behind that shift.

Students start with the key ideas behind AI and machine learning, then apply them in three areas where AI is used every day: data analysis, computer vision and natural language. By the end, students understand how AI systems learn, how they are measured and where they could take their skills next.

• AI and Machine Learning Concepts (how AI systems learn, how neural networks are built and trained, and how AI classifies information)
• Data Analytics and Decision Support (organizing and visualizing data, preparing data for AI tasks, and measuring and comparing model performance)
• Computer Vision (working with images through code, adjusting color and contrast, filtering images and pulling key features from visual data)
• Natural Language (how AI represents, processes and understands human language)

FAQs

Q: Do I need coding or math experience?
A: No. The Fundamentals level has no prerequisites. The program introduces the math and programming skills you need as you go, so you can focus on understanding how AI works in real applications.

Q: What is the difference between artificial intelligence and machine learning?
A: Artificial intelligence is the broad field of building computer systems that can perform tasks that normally require human thinking, like recognizing images or understanding language. Machine learning is a type of AI in which systems learn patterns from data and improve over time instead of following only fixed rules.

Q: Do you offer payment plans or tuition assistance?
A: A payment plan option is available at checkout, requiring a first payment followed by a series of scheduled payments deducted automatically every 30 days. The percentage due upfront and the number of payments will be shown before you complete registration.
