Faculty and Leadership

The online Columbia Artificial Intelligence (AI) executive certificate program was developed by expert faculty members within the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University.

As this is an executive program designed for working professionals, a team of Associates of Discipline (AODs) from 2U, our program partner, has been carefully selected by Columbia to lead the live course sessions. These AODs are not only academically accomplished but also bring professional expertise in the subjects they teach.

Our AODs are adept at contextualizing research within practical, real-world applications, drawing on their current experience as practitioners in the field. Meanwhile, Columbia faculty members contribute as guest lecturers in live course sessions and during on-campus immersions. Together, all parties collaborate to ensure that each course’s cutting-edge curriculum remains dynamic, relevant, and aligned with the latest developments in the field. They lead a curriculum that challenges you to confront complex issues, engineer innovative solutions, and achieve your full potential to become an AI leader in your organization.
