Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (CERT)

The admission standards for the Graduate Certificate program in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine are as follows:

  1. All admission applications for the Graduate Certificate program shall include:
    1. A completed graduate application for the Graduate School
    2. Application fee
    3. Official transcript certifying at least a bachelor's degree.  All transcripts not in English must be certified as authentic and translated verbatim into English.
  2. The minimum requirement for admission is the baccalaureate degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution, or current enrollment in a graduate Speed School program, and completion of BE 340 (Computational Methodologies in Bioengineering) or its equivalent.
  3. The successful applicant will typically have an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or above (on a 4.00 scale) in their engineering courses.
  4. The minimum math pre-requisite course required is ENGR 205 (Differential Equations for Engineering) or its equivalent.
  5. International students whose primary language is not English must show English language proficiency. Applicants must either submit an official TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo score, or demonstrate a degree award from an acceptable English language institution.  The successful applicant will typically have a total TOEFL score of 80 or higher, an overall IELTS score of 6.5 or higher or Duolingo score of 105.

Students can enroll in a Graduate Certificate program either as a non-degree seeking student or as a student simultaneously enrolled in a graduate degree program and this graduate certificate program.  Students who wish to earn a graduate degree must meet all admission criteria for the degree program.

All students enrolled in a graduate certificate program are expected to make steady and satisfactory progress toward the completion of the certificate. Students who are not enrolled for a period of more than 12 months will be considered to have withdrawn from the certificate program. Students who seek to return after such a period of time must contact the graduate program director.

The following certificate requirements are mandatory of all Graduate Certificate candidates:

  1. The Certificate Program of Study must be completed with a 3.0 GPA or better for all graduate courses used to satisfy certificate requirements.
  2. Graduate certificate students must take all certificate course work at the University of Louisville. No transfer credits will be accepted towards a graduate certificate.

The Bioengineering Department has established the following grade policy for the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Graduate Certificate program:

  1. A student cannot receive a C+ or lower grade in courses counting towards the certificate. 

Additionally, all program requirements for this certificate must be completed within three years from admission into the program.
