Program Overview

Earn your MS in Artificial Intelligence — without pausing your career.

Silicon Valley's most in-demand degree, designed for working engineers. Fully online. The same SJSU credential/degree — earned while you keep doing the work you love.

You won't do this alone — and it makes all the difference.

From day one to graduation, you move through every course with same cohort. You build real relationships and leave a professional network. In a field that moves as fast as AI, who you know matters as much as what you know.

Built for your schedule

One course at a time, one night a week. No juggling three classes. No sacrificing weekends. Just steady, manageable progress toward your degree.

Guaranteed seat — every course

No waitlists. No competing for enrollment. Your spot in every class is reserved from the moment you're admitted.

Taught by industry experts

Instructors include both SJSU faculty and industry practitioners — the people actually building AI systems at Silicon Valley companies.

A structure that makes sense

11 courses, 33 graduate-level units, delivered year-round across fall, spring, and summer. Classes meet online once a week for 11 weeks — then you move on to the next course, refreshed and ready.

What you'll walk away with

  • Deep expertise in machine learning, logic, regression, and the full foundation of modern AI
  • A graduate degree from an accredited CSU institution — respected across the industry
  • A cohort of peers who become colleagues, collaborators, and lifelong professional contacts
  • Applied skills you can put to work immediately — not theory you'll forget after the final exam
