Lindner launches AI in Business graduate certificate

“AI is becoming a big part of business, and a lot of people want to upskill on AI quickly and learn how to apply AI to business,” said Sachin Modi, PhD, professor and head of Lindner’s department of operations, business analytics, and information systems. “The intent of the certificate is to equip students with the correct tools and techniques to achieve this.”

AI in Business provides students with flexibility; hands-on experiential learning opportunities with the latest AI tools; access to expert faculty who are working on and researching AI’s latest business applications; and a connection to Lindner's 50,000-strong alumni network, who can aid certificate recipients in landing job placements in a rapidly growing talent field.

The curriculum features four required two-credit-hour courses, plus four elective credit hours (from seven elective course options) that must be completed. AI in Business syncs up with job opportunities across business fields, from data scientists, business analysts, financial advisers and investment managers, to marketing managers, information systems managers, and operations and supply chain managers.

“The core courses take you from relatively little to no knowledge of AI to having a good understanding of how to design and deploy AI solutions,” Modi said. “The elective courses put you on two possible tracks — a more managerial path or a more developmental path.” 

The graduate certificate application deadline for fall 2024 semester enrollment is July 31. For the spring 2025 semester, the priority deadline is Oct. 15, with the final deadline on Dec. 1.
