Artificial Intelligence Micro-Credential

Location(s): Main Campus


The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Micro-Credential program will document a Binghamton University student’s completion of a formally organized suite of courses tailored to AI. The program will formally introduce students to the fundamental theories and methods of AI to a reasonable level, both in breadth and depth. The program offers two required courses as the foundation to AI: CS 565 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and CS 536 Introduction to Machine Learning. Students who have taken these two required courses shall be equipped with the essential foundation of AI. In addition to these two required courses, students in this program are also required to take two electives out of a wide suite of the courses offered in the MS in Computer Science program related to AI, ranging from specific applications such as using machine learning techniques to address issues in social media to specific areas within AI such as computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. The intent of the program is not to provide a comprehensive self-contained competency, but rather to provide students with the special attention to AI as a focus area, in the context of the existing MS in Computer Science program or existing professional practice, to help the students become well-prepared for the emerging era of AI.

Admission Requirements


The Artificial Intelligence Micro-Credential program is open for Binghamton University graduate students already admitted into the MS in Computer Science program, or Binghamton University graduate students already admitted into a related program (e.g., Electrical and Computer Engineering) with the required background. The program is also open to Binghamton University senior-level undergraduate students in the BS in Computer Science program. People outside Binghamton University may also apply for admission into this program, subject to the review and approval of the School of Computing.

Program Requirements


An average of B or above for all courses must be achieved in order to complete this program.
