Curriculum

IT-215 Introduction to AI Literacy is designed to be a starting point, giving you the opportunity to unlock the world of AI with confidence. This 8-week course provides an overview of AI and its practical applications. From learning essential AI terminology and common misconceptions to effective prompt engineering (how to instruct a very intelligent but literal robot), this course will help you develop a basic understanding of AI systems. You'll also explore how AI is being used in industries such as healthcare and urban planning and learn about the principles behind AI adoption – it’s a jam-packed course!

After taking IT-215, you'll be ready to take two additional AI classes online at SNHU – IT-216 Introduction to Responsible AI and IT-217 AI in Practice – to further advance your AI knowledge and skills.

You may also consider our accelerated 6-week Generative AI: Concept to Innovation course. For a fraction of the time, this engaging professional certification can help you build workplace-relevant skills – and show employers your capabilities as an ethically-minded AI practitioner. Plus, you may even be able to transfer up to 9 IT credits toward an undergraduate program at SNHU.

Where Can a Single Course Take You?

There are lots of advantages to taking a single course. Whether you want to grow in your current career, prepare yourself for a new one, or get one step closer to a college degree, an individual course is a great way to get started.
