GRADUATE CERTIFICATE  –  12 CREDITS  –  DESIGNED FOR WORKING PROFESSIONALS

AI Strategy

Lead Your Organization’s AI Strategy.
Earn Master’s Credit While You Do It.

A 12-credit, HLC-accredited graduate certificate in AI Strategy – built around generative AI, ethical deployment at scale, and the organizational resilience frameworks that determine whether AI initiatives succeed. Every credit articulates directly into Walsh’s MS, DBA, or MBA via FastTrack to get more than just professional development.

Designed by a National Voice in AI and AI Education
The Walsh AI Strategy Certificate was custom-designed by Dr. Dave Schippers, Sc.D., CISSP – Walsh College Provost and a recognized speaker and thought leader on artificial intelligence, AI education, and the cybersecurity dimensions of AI deployment.

The curriculum reflects what working professionals actually need to lead AI initiatives inside real organizations: not the consumer-AI conversation, not the engineering deep-dive, but the strategic frame that connects generative AI capability, deployment-scale ethics, and organizational resilience. It is the program he built because the market did not yet have it.

Built and Taught by Researchers at the Front Edge of AI
Walsh has invested in faculty whose doctoral research is being completed in the same AI domains they teach. The courses in this certificate are built and delivered by recently-credentialed scholars whose dissertations addressed live questions in generative AI, AI ethics, and organizational AI deployment – not by faculty teaching from textbooks written before the current generative-AI inflection point. You will learn from the people who are writing the current literature, not summarizing it.

Built for Day-One Application
Every course in the certificate is structured around hands-on exercises, applied case work, and real-organization decision scenarios. You will work through the actual problems AI initiatives encounter inside operating organizations – readiness diagnostics, deployment-risk assessment, generative-AI integration patterns, governance design – using current tools and current frameworks. The skills are built to be used the day after you complete the assignment, not stored for future reference.

“The professionals who will determine whether AI delivers value inside organizations are not the people building the models – they are the people who can frame the use case, govern the deployment, and lead the change. This certificate was built for them.”
-Dr. Dave Schippers, Sc.D., CISSP, Provost, Walsh College
