OVERVIEW

The 15 credit hour AI in Architecture Graduate Certificate offers a comprehensive and logical progression of courses aimed at equipping students with a strong foundation in coding and computation, as well as the theoretical and practical applications of AI and data-driven algorithms in architectural practices. With a comprehensive AI education, our students will gain a competitive edge in the job market. The Certificate will provide accessible, high-quality hybrid AI in Architecture education, making it possible to bridge the AI skills gap and equip students and professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in this rapidly evolving field.

As technology continues to drive the advancement of the built environment, students in the field of architecture could significantly benefit from a strong foundation in AI and its applications. The School of Architecture is committed to providing its students with the skills and knowledge they need to excel academically and in their future careers. View the curriculum.

DEADLINES

Students enrolled in the Master of Architecture may add the Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence in Architecture. The certificate shares 9 credit hours with the Master of Architecture degree. It does not add credit hours or time to a track one (advanced program, 52-credit) Master of Architecture degree. The Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence in Architecture when stacked with the Master of Architecture degree requires that the thesis or PILOT required for the Master of Architecture degree be focused on an AI topic.
