Cornell University Launches AI Certificate Program for Finance Professionals
Cornell University has launched a new online certificate program designed to enable professionals in the finance sector to effectively utilize artificial intelligence technologies in areas such as banking, risk analysis, and investment management.
Cornell University, through eCornell and in collaboration with the College of Engineering and the SC Johnson College of Business, has announced an online certificate program titled "AI in Finance."
Starting in the spring of 2026, the program aims to provide finance professionals with conceptual and practical knowledge regarding the applications of artificial intelligence in investment research, credit risk, fraud detection, and compliance processes. Unlike pre-recorded courses, the training is conducted live, allowing participants to interact directly with industry experts from firms such as BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, and EY, as well as faculty members.
The curriculum covers AI fundamentals, financial use cases, and leadership strategies. The program concludes with participants developing custom AI adoption plans for their own institutions. While registration for the spring 2027 term is ongoing, the training is scheduled to begin on May 18, 2027, and end on June 24, 2027.
