Artificial Intelligence Professional Program
Stanford Online's Artificial Intelligence Professional Program, from the Stanford School of Engineering, adapts on-campus graduate courses for working professionals. Each 10-week online course runs 10-15 hours per week with recorded lectures, coding and written assignments and a course facilitator. Eight courses are listed, including XCS229 Machine Learning, XCS224N NLP with Deep Learning, XCS234 Reinforcement Learning and XCS231N computer vision. A short application checks Python, calculus, linear algebra and probability. Three program courses, or two plus one AI Graduate Program course, earn the Stanford Professional Certificate in Artificial Intelligence, delivered as a blockchain-verified digital certificate. As shown in the United States on 5 October 2026, tuition is USD 2,045 per course.
