Minor in Applications of Artificial Intelligence

The Applications of AI Minor is designed to equip students across all disciplines at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with essential AI literacy and practical competencies. Through a curriculum that spans applications in education, industry, and research, students develop the ability to apply core AI methods responsibly and effectively. The program also emphasizes ethical awareness, privacy considerations, and the importance of human oversight, preparing students to engage thoughtfully with AI in their academic and professional contexts. The 15-credit minor in Applications of AI advances this objective through foundational courses (9 credits) open to all students, complemented by electives (6 credits) aligned with diverse majors.

Some majors may not be eligible to pair with this minor. See the Minor Restrictions list for details.
