Elevate Your Career with AI Skills

The Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence: Applied ML, GenAI, and Agents is a five-month online program from Johns Hopkins University’s Whiting School of Engineering. It is designed for professionals and graduates who want to build practical, job-relevant skills in applied artificial intelligence and move beyond theory to real-world implementation. 

The program focuses on applying AI techniques to solve business and operational problems. Learners work with real datasets, industry case studies, and hands-on projects while attending live mentorship sessions with industry experts and faculty-led masterclasses from Johns Hopkins University.

In this program, you will learn to: 

• Understand core AI concepts, including Machine Learning, deep learning, and Generative AI, identify industry-relevant, solvable problems, and consider associated ethical implications. 

• Apply key Python libraries (NumPy, Pandas) for data loading, cleaning, preprocessing, and feature engineering to prepare data for analysis and modeling. 

• Analyze data using statistical methods and create visualizations to effectively communicate business insights across diverse industry scenarios. 

• Implement and evaluate supervised learning algorithms (regression, classification), unsupervised learning (clustering), and anomaly detection techniques. 

• Construct and train neural networks for classification tasks, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image classification and object detection, with a clear understanding of architectural differences. 

• Comprehend fundamentals of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Generative AI, including hands-on experimentation with models such as Transformers and Stable Diffusion. 

• Implement and analyze Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems to improve language model performance through enhanced contextualization. 

• Develop practical Large Language Model (LLM) workflows using Prompt Engineering, fine-tuning, and AI agents for seamless real-world integration.

The Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence: Applied ML, GenAI, and Agents offers the following key features: 

• Five-month program in an online learning format 
• Live masterclasses led by Johns Hopkins University faculty 
• Live mentorship sessions with global industry experts 
• Recorded video lectures and self-paced learning modules 
• Hands-on projects and real-world case studies across industries 
• Dedicated support from a Program Manager 
• Academic support through the Great Learning community, peer groups, and discussion forums 
• A Certificate of Completion with 16 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from Johns Hopkins University

The program is delivered fully online through a structured five-month format that includes: 

• Recorded, self-paced video lectures 
• Live mentorship sessions with industry experts 
• Faculty-led masterclasses from Johns Hopkins University 
• Hands-on projects and real-world case studies 
• Self-paced reinforcement modules

Yes. Learners receive continuous support throughout the Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence: Applied ML, GenAI, and Agents. A dedicated Program Manager acts as a single point of contact, helping with scheduling, progress tracking, and access to resources. 

Learners also benefit from academic support through the Great Learning community, project discussion forums, peer groups, live mentorship sessions, and faculty-led masterclasses designed to reinforce key concepts.

The program is five months long.

Learners are expected to dedicate approximately 8–10 hours per week to complete learning modules, attend live sessions, and work on hands-on projects.

The program is designed and delivered by faculty from Johns Hopkins University, with deep expertise in applied AI, machine learning, neuroscience, and analytics. 

Core faculty include: 

• Dr. Anthony (Tony) Johnson, Senior Professional Staff Member and Research Scientist, Johns Hopkins University 
• Dr. Ian McCulloh, Manager of Artificial Intelligence Continuing and Executive Education, Johns Hopkins University 

Learners also receive guidance from industry mentors who are experienced AI practitioners from leading global organizations. 

Note: Faculty and mentor lists are subject to change based on availability.

Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Johns Hopkins University, along with 16 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). 

The certificate demonstrates practical proficiency in applied AI, machine learning, deep learning, and Generative AI. It adds value to your professional profile by showcasing hands-on experience and real-world application of AI skills.

This program stands out due to: 

• Strong focus on applied, real-world AI use cases rather than theory alone 
• Live faculty masterclasses combined with industry mentorship 
• Hands-on projects across multiple domains, including healthcare, retail, aviation, and marketing 
• Coverage of modern AI techniques, including Generative AI, RAG, and Agentic AI workflows 
• Personalized learner support throughout the program

Learners work with industry-relevant tools and technologies, including: 

• Python and key data science libraries 
• Machine learning and deep learning frameworks 
• Large Language Models (LLMs) 
• Prompt Engineering and RAG frameworks 
• Computer vision and Generative AI models 

These tools are applied through hands-on projects and case studies.
