Certificate in Artificial Intelligence Management
Our classes are taught online in real-time by Georgetown instructors using Zoom video conferencing. They are designed to provide our professional learners with a high-quality, engaging educational experience. For more information, please contact Program Support at pdcprograms@georgetown.edu.
You must successfully complete a total of 2.4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs), which is equivalent to 24.0 contact hours. The course is delivered over a period of three consecutive days. The following is the list of topics that will be covered each day:
Day 1 During the first day, students will first learn common definitions of artificial intelligence (AI) and its main areas. Developers program or train AI systems to make decisions, and students will learn the main ingredients of complex decision-making. Students will then review some of the major AI technologies, such as graphical models and neural networks. With this introductory background, students will divide into groups and will identify an application of their choice and discuss pertinent AI technologies and design issues. They will present the outcomes of their discussions to the rest of the class. After briefly exploring how organizations build AI systems, the first day concludes with a survey of successful and unsuccessful commercial applications.
AI Ecosystems
Machine Learning for the Enterprise
Day 2 During the second day, students will learn about the five pillars of AI integration (Precisely measurable, reliable data pipeline, algorithms, infrastructure, and breaking down silos across the customer’s journey) and will be exposed to a real-world application with Afiniti. The students will be exposed to “off the shelves” technology solutions powered by artificial intelligence and developed by leading companies in the industry (Accenture and Hewlett Packard). Finally, the students will learn how artificial intelligence can be a powerful innovation enabler when it is combined with other emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and blockchain technology. Experts from Amazon, the Chamber of Digital Commerce, and Georgetown University will discuss technology fusion use cases and the implication for business innovations.
5 Pillars of AI Integration
AI and Business Solutions
AI, IoTs, Cloud Computing, and Blockchain Technology
Day 3 During the last day, students will learn about laws and regulations that govern the development and application of artificial intelligence. The lesson will address legal frameworks in North America and Europe. Students will also be exposed to practical and contemporary ethical challenges related to the use of artificial intelligence in different industry sectors. An ethics expert from the University of Cambridge will provide students with foundational principles to address modern artificial intelligence moral dilemmas. Finally, students will learn how to develop an artificial business case and will be pitching their project ideas to classmates and receive guidance from a leading expert.

Once you begin a certificate, you have up to two years from the time you start your first course to complete all required courses.

Tuition & Funding
Total program tuition is $2,995. All course materials and lunches are included.
Funding
Noncredit professional certificates do not qualify for federal financial aid, scholarships, grants, or needs-based aid. However, several finance and funding options do exist, as listed below.
Some employers offer funding for employee education or professional development. If an employer guarantees payment for employee education and training, Georgetown will accept an Intent to Pay form. If you are using employer sponsorship or training authorizations, you must submit an Intent to Pay form with your registration.
If your employer will pay for your tuition, select “Third-Party Billing” as your method of payment when you register for courses online. Please submit an Intent to Pay form indicating that your employer or another third party should be billed for tuition. Invoices will not be generated without this form on file.
Eligible Georgetown employees may use their Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) benefits to fund 90% of the certificate program tuition—employees will be invoiced for the remaining 10% of tuition and must pay any other charges associated with their certificate program. Employees using TAP benefits may work directly with the HR Benefits Office to ensure payment prior to the start of any course. This payment option is only valid if registration occurs at least 10–14 business days prior to the start date of the first course. Any fees incurred due to course withdrawal are the student’s responsibility and are not funded by Georgetown University TAP. For questions regarding TAP benefits, please contact the HR/Benefits Office at tapbenefits@georgetown.edu or (202) 687-2500.
SCS is registered with GoArmyEd.com to accept SF-182 training authorization forms. GoArmyEd.com is the virtual gateway for all eligible active duty, National Guard, and Army Reserve soldiers to request Tuition Assistance (TA) online. GoArmyEd.com is also the virtual gateway for Army Civilians to apply for their Civilian education, training, and leadership development events.
The professional certificate programs offer an interest-free payment plan for certificate programs that are more than one month in duration and for which the total tuition is greater than or equal to $4,000. The payment plan is structured in the following manner:
Payment #1: A down payment of 25% of the total tuition balance must be paid online (within 72 hours after you register and select Payment Plan) via the Noncredit Student Portal. Please submit your down payment as soon as possible.
Payments #2, #3, and #4: Your remaining balance will be due in three (3) equal monthly installments beginning 30 calendar days after your down payment is processed. Your monthly payments must be paid via credit card in the Noncredit Student Portal. You will be able to access each invoice and payment due date in your student account.
PLEASE NOTE: Automatic Payment Service is not available. You must make each subsequent payment via the Noncredit Student Portal.
A number of tuition benefits are available through the Department of Veterans Affairs and under various parts of the GI Bill®. Please visit the Resources for Military Students page for additional information and instructions.
Some students choose to finance certificate programs with private education loans. Students are responsible for contacting lenders directly to find out if a noncredit professional certificate program is eligible for a loan. While Georgetown University will not recommend specific lenders, it will certify loans for eligible programs from approved lenders.
For eligible noncredit professional certificate programs, Georgetown University will certify loan amounts up to the full cost of tuition for the program. Tuition does not cover books, travel, or living expenses. Please see individual program pages for tuition rates.
Georgetown University has a unique campus code for Sallie Mae. Our Sallie Mae branch code is 001445-99.
You must be approved for a loan before registering for courses. Follow these steps to pursue a loan option:
Check the list of lenders that have offered private education loans in the past to Georgetown University students.
Contact the lender and confirm your program is eligible for a private education loan.

Note: It is your responsibility to contact Georgetown University Noncredit Student Accounts at noncreditaccounts@georgetown.edu to ensure that your loan is processed.
While you may choose to complete your certificate program in one semester, many programs (but not all) allow up to two years to complete all requirements. As a result, you may choose to register for required and elective courses over several semesters to spread out the cost of tuition over time. We generally offer every course in a program each semester, so you'll have many opportunities to enroll in required and elective courses within the two-year time frame.
