About

Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to teach students the techniques for building computer systems that exhibit intelligent behavior. AI is one of the most consequential applications of computer science, and is helping to solve complex real-world problems, from self-driving cars to facial recognition. This course will teach students the theory and techniques of AI, so that they understand how AI methods work under a variety of conditions. The course begins with an exploration of the historical development of AI, and helps students understand the key problems that are studied and the key ideas that have emerged from research. Then, students learn a set of methods that cover: problem solving, search algorithms, knowledge representation and reasoning, natural language understanding, and computer vision. Throughout the course, as they apply technical methods, students will also examine pressing ethical concerns that are resulting from AI, including privacy and surveillance, transparency, bias, and more. Course assignments will consist of short programming exercises and discussion- oriented readings. The course culminates in a final group project and accompanying paper that allows students to apply concepts to a problem of personal interet.

How students have found success through Woolf

"As a working parent, I needed something flexible and manageable. Woolf’s structure fit me perfectly. I was nervous at first, balancing work, parenting, and midnight classes, but the support, resources, and sense of community kept me going."
Andreia Caroll
Clinical Research Nurse
"Woolf provided me flexibility, a strong community, and high quality education. It really broadened my perspective and significantly improved my communication skills. I graduated not just more knowledgeable, but also more confident and well-rounded."
Brian Etemesi
Software Engineer
"The program at Woolf gave me the language to articulate what I had been intuitively practicing for years. It sharpened my strategic thinking and reinforced my belief that art can be a tool for social transformation."
Elad Schechter
Master of Business Administration in Arts Innovation
"GCAS college at Woolf has offered me a venue to explore my ideas with like-minded individuals, whose aspirations to expand their (and others) horizons, finding new ideas and thoughts to assist our fellow human beings to be more efficient, kinder, and smarter."
James Greer
Master of Arts in Philosophy
"As a working parent, I needed something flexible and manageable. Woolf’s structure fit me perfectly. I was nervous at first, balancing work, parenting, and midnight classes, but the support, resources, and sense of community kept me going."
Andreia Caroll
Clinical Research Nurse
“Woolf and Scaler’s hands-on Master’s program gave me the practical skills and confidence I was missing after my undergraduate degree. Real projects, professional tools, and mentorship transformed how I think, build, and solve problems — leading me to a career as a Software Engineer.”
Bhavya Dhiman
Master’s in Computer Science
"Woolf provided me flexibility, a strong community, and high quality education. It really broadened my perspective and significantly improved my communication skills. I graduated not just more knowledgeable, but also more confident and well-rounded."
Brian Etemesi
Software Engineer
“Woolf’s flexible, accredited program gave me structure, community, and the confidence to grow. From landing my dream internship to winning a hackathon, Woolf opened doors and shaped both my career and mindset.”
