Become an AI leader in your organization
Everyone’s talking about AI. Don’t just join the conversation, lead it. The Machine Learning and AI MicroBootCamp™ from UNH Professional Development & Training is an online, self-paced course designed for experienced tech professionals to complete in 8 to 10 weeks. You’ll emerge with the context, confidence, and technical skills you need to catapult yourself — and your organization — into the future.
- Understand the AI landscape: summarize what AI is and the ways it is impacting our lives, discover recent innovations in AI, and hypothesize how AI could be applied in the future.
- Apply machine learning techniques: gain knowledge and solve problems using machine learning models.
- Use unsupervised and supervised machine learning models: categorize unlabeled data, and use labeled data to make predictions.
- Optimize machine learning models: evaluate machine learning models by using test data and metrics, and improve the performance of machine learning models by using optimization techniques.
- Make predictions about data: explain neural networks and deep learning models, and apply them to make predictions about data.
- Use natural language processing (NLP) and transformers: interpret and predict human language text, solve NLP tasks with pre-trained transformer models, and build AI applications.
MicroBootCamp™ prerequisites
This MicroBootCamp™ is not designed for beginners. Interested learners should have a proven proficiency in Python and mathematics, including linear algebra, statistics, and multivariable calculus. Work experience in programming is recommended, but not required. To benefit from this program, you should be able to:
Code in Python.
Read and write files in Python.
Create software scripts in Python using programming fundamentals such as variables, lists, conditionals, loops, and functions.
Install, import, and use external libraries in Python.
Apply essential coding skills including syntax recollection, pseudocode, problem decomposition, and debugging.
Technology and services powered by 2U, Inc., the parent company of edX.
Machine learning and AI career outlook
Learn AI fundamentals. Maximize outcomes.
The business world needs more skilled tech professionals who can optimize AI to improve efficiencies and make smarter decisions: a 2023 Stanford University study found that the number of AI-adjacent job postings in the U.S. continues to increase across nearly every industrial sector.Footnote 1
Additionally, machine learning engineer is one of Glassdoor’s best jobs in America.Footnote 2 Arming yourself with AI skills — like unsupervised and supervised learning, machine learning optimization, neural networks, and natural language processing — may give you the insight you need to lead your organization’s AI strategy.

Why take a MicroBootCamp™?
Unlike a traditional full-length boot camp, which can often run 18 to 24 weeks, MicroBootCamps™ are topic-specific, 8–10-week intensives designed for professionals in adjacent fields to enhance their skill sets in less time, on their own schedules, at a disruptive price. When you invest in professional development opportunities like the Machine Learning and AI MicroBootCamp™, you’ll be able to apply new strategies to your work in programming, computer science, development, and more. You will also benefit from:
- A self-paced format: Control how quickly you work through the course, based on your personal and professional obligations.
- Innovative instruction: Keep your finger on the pulse of AI with an in-depth, comprehensive machine learning and AI curriculum designed and led by experts.
- A hands-on environment: While you’ll learn on your own time, you’ll still have 10 weeks of access to instructor support, office hours, Q&A sessions, and peer discussions.
- Real-world projects: Practice your new skills with hands-on, human-graded projects that you can add to your portfolio.
