Artificial Intelligence Literacy, Microcredential

The Department of Computer Science's microcredential in artificial intelligence literacy provides students with a short, skills-focused pathway to apply AI responsibly in real-world settings. Through a small set of targeted courses, students gain hands-on experience with data analysis, machine learning workflows, and AI-enabled decision making, while learning to evaluate AI systems for bias, transparency, accountability, and societal impact. The microcredential is designed for students from multiple majors who want practical, ethical, and career-relevant AI competence without pursuing a full major or minor.
