Catalog Description

The Generative AI Application Development Program is a two-semester program designed for students with no prior technical background, providing an introduction to the rapidly evolving field of AI. Through hands-on coursework, students explore core AI and generative AI concepts while learning to design, develop, and deploy applications across full-stack environments. The program emphasizes ethical practices, critical problem-solving, collaborative teamwork, and responsible decision-making. Students gain proficiency in using no-code and low-code platforms, integrating cloud computing services, and leveraging prompt engineering to build advanced AI solutions. Upon completion, graduates are equipped with the technical expertise, professional skills, and adaptive mindset needed to succeed in the AI field.

Enrollment Completer Projections

We approximate between 20-40 completers per academic year.

Program Goal

The Generative AI Application Development Program helps students build a strong understanding of how artificial intelligence works, with a special focus on generative AI. Students first evaluate these technologies from ethical, legal, and cultural perspectives to understand and address their broader social impacts. They then develop AI-driven solutions using no-code, low-code, and coding platforms, applying prompt engineering and best practices to build effective applications.
