You'll also explore how AI is being used in industries such as healthcare and urban planning and learn about the principles behind AI adoption – it’s a jam-packed course!

After taking IT-215, you'll be ready to take two additional AI classes online at SNHU – IT-216 Introduction to Responsible AI and IT-217 AI in Practice – to further advance your AI knowledge and skills.
