Adtalem, Northeastern to offer AI certificate course

Adtalem Global Education, which has been expanding its professional education programs, made another move in that direction on Monday with the announcement it will work with Northeastern University to develop a non-degree, certificate-bearing business course in artificial intelligence (AI) for financial services.Offered online beginning this summer through the D'Amore-McKim School of Business, the two-to-four-week course is designed for "professional students," said Christina Jaracz, executive director of corporate learning practice for the business school, in an email to Education Dive. Adtalem will set the price for the program as well as provide "the distribution channels, technology and go-to-market expertise" through its financial services education properties, Jaracz said. Northeastern will provide the course content and subject matter expertise. The course will be available in several modes, Jaracz said, including for individual self-paced learning as well as for companies to purchase and offer to their employees. Additionally, she said, "it can be tailored to include online or on-site facilitation from faculty members" for corporate clients.
