Loyola Marymount University Launches Artificial Intelligence Certificate Program
The Seaver College of Science and Engineering is launching a new graduate-level artificial intelligence program that blends technical training with ethical leadership.
Loyola Marymount University's Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering aims to provide expertise to software engineers and product managers with its new Artificial Intelligence Certificate program starting in the fall semester.
Purpose and Scope of the Program
Loyola Marymount University is taking a new step for artificial intelligence technologies that are transforming business life. Initiated by the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering, this graduate-level certificate program brings together technical training and ethical leadership.
Target Audience and Duration
Consisting of three courses, this program aims for students with a background in computer science or related fields to deepen their knowledge in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative artificial intelligence. Completing the program typically takes two semesters, and the courses taken can count toward a master's degree in computer science.
Emphasis on Ethics and Responsible Use
Department of Computer Science Chair Professor John David Dionisio states that the main purpose of the program is to provide students with a deep understanding of technology and practical skills. Ethical questions such as fairness, accountability, and transparency are also examined throughout the curriculum.
Applied Projects and Flexibility
Students have the opportunity to specialize in high-demand fields such as natural language processing, healthcare applications, and game development. Classes are supported by hands-on projects that offer students the opportunity to experience real-world impacts.
