ATLANTA — The J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University will offer its Gen AI and Machine Learning for Business Graduate Certificate in a fully asynchronous format beginning fall 2026, expanding access for working professionals and recent graduates seeking to develop artificial intelligence capabilities.
Designed for non-technical professionals, the Gen AI and Machine Learning for Business Certificate prepares students to build and evaluate AI-driven solutions to create business value. The program introduces the foundations of machine learning and generative AI while emphasizing practical application in business settings. Students learn how machine learning models detect patterns and predict outcomes, how AI systems can be used to develop new applications, and how AI solutions can be evaluated for reliability and impact. Through applied coursework, students gain experience prototyping AI-enabled solutions and exploring how these tools can be integrated into business workflows.
Beginning this fall, the certificate will be available in a fully asynchronous format, allowing students to complete coursework on their own schedules. The flexible structure makes the program accessible to both working professionals seeking to build new AI capabilities and recent graduates who want to enter the workforce with practical AI expertise.
“The ability to build and apply artificial intelligence solutions is quickly becoming a key skill across many professions,” said Richard D. Phillips, dean of the Robinson College of Business. “Our goal is to help both established professionals and emerging business leaders understand how AI systems work and how they can build and deploy AI solutions responsibly in their organizations.”
Recent graduates of the certificate program report that the skills gained have helped them better understand how to apply artificial intelligence tools in real business environments.
“The certificate gave me a strong foundation. Now I understand AI concepts at a deeper level, and I can speak more confidently with customers and recognize where AI adds value in business scenarios,” said Abdulhakeem Olaoluwa, a recent graduate of the certificate program who works as a digital solutions advisor for SAP. “AI is becoming part of everything, so having both business knowledge and AI proficiency makes me feel prepared for the future.”
Students who complete the certificate may apply the coursework toward selected Robinson graduate degree programs, including the college’s nationally ranked MBA and the M.S.A. in Data Science and Analytics programs.
