Lindner launches AI in Business graduate certificate
Students learn AI skills, how to deploy them to solve business problems
The Carl H. Lindner College of Business at the University of Cincinnati has announced the addition of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Business graduate certificate, which focuses on empowering students with the means to leverage AI platforms for developing solutions to business problems.
Lindner graduate certificates allow students to gain specialized business knowledge to boost their career options. AI in Business can be completed in two to three semesters (nine to 12 months) of study and can be taken as a standalone certificate while also easily paired with the Lindner MBA, Master of Science in Business Analytics or the Master of Science in Information Systems programs.
AI in Business, which can be fulfilled via in-person and online modalities, is accepting applications for the fall 2024 and spring 2025 semesters. While no previous experience with AI tools is required, a basic background in Python programming and information systems is helpful.
Sachin Modi, PhD, professor and head of Lindner’s department of operations, business analytics, and information systems.
“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.
