Frequently Asked Questions
| Why should I apply for the certificate? • The certificate will provide training in AI skills to enhance career prospects. |
| How do I apply? • Go to Apply to UT Dallas and follow instructions under Certificates for Current Students |
| What is the deadline to apply? • The certificate can be added anytime. However, the courses need to be taken in a recommended sequence (see above) and not all courses are offered every semester. |
| If I am pursuing the MS in Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Sciences, will I get this certificate automatically? • No. Even though the coursework for the certificate is included in the curriculum for the MS program, you will have to apply to enroll in the certificate sufficiently in advance. |
| Since I am pursuing MS in Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Sciences, why should I apply for the certificate? • You can get the certificate before getting the degree, which may be helpful, e.g., when you are applying for a job or internship. |
| How does the Graduate Certificate in Data Science compare with the Graduate Certificate in Biomedical Artificial Intelligence? • Although the two certificates have some overlapping content, their focus differs. The Data Science certificate offers general training in Data Science, while the Biomedical AI certificate focuses on tools for analyzing biomedical data. |
| Can I take all courses in the same semester? • No, some of the courses from earlier semesters are pre-requisites for courses in later semesters (see the Recommended Sequence above). |
| Are all the certificate courses offered every semester? • No. |
| If I get this certificate, will I have another degree in addition to my current one? • No, the certificate is not equivalent to another degree. But there will be an annotation in your transcript regarding the certificate. |
