Academic Programming

A graduate professional certificate is earned through the completion of eight full online courses (over 20 weeks) with a C (70%) or passing grade or above. Each term is designed with four courses lasting ten weeks. For any individual without a background in programming, Python Fundamentals I and II will be compulsory courses, except for the AI Proficiency Bootcamp.

Core Certificate and AI Proficiency Bootcamp (Programming-Free) requirements include two courses per term over two 10-week terms, totalling four courses spread across 20 weeks.

Advanced Certificate requirements include four courses per term over two 10-week terms, totalling eight courses spread across 20 weeks.

Register for Core Certificate – $24/week

Register for AI Proficiency Bootcamp – $24/week

Register for Advanced Certificate – $48/week

Currently accepting applications for new cohorts starting every week.
