Pathway

Four rungs. Stop at any of them with something real.

Every course is 3 units, has no prerequisites, and uses no-code and low-code tools. The courses stack: the same six classes build toward each credential, and all of them count toward the degree.

    Financial-aid eligible

No code. No prerequisites. Start anywhere in the sequence.

This program is built for people who need to use AI well at work, not for people who want to become programmers. Every course uses no-code and low-code tools, so the work is design, judgment, and ethics rather than syntax. None of the six courses has a prerequisite. The recommended order is AI 40 first, but you can enroll in any course that fits your schedule.
