About this course

Understanding Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for your Nexford credit.

What is Introduction to Artificial Intelligence?

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence is a course about how computer systems can perform tasks that normally require human judgment, such as searching for solutions, making decisions from data, recognizing patterns, and processing language. It covers the main ideas behind AI, including intelligent agents, machine learning, neural networks, logic, probability, and natural language processing, along with the history and limits of the field.

How the course teaches you

This course is completed through a mix of video lessons, quizzes, assignments, attendance, and a final exam, with grading split evenly across 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you finish and your transcript is reviewed, Nexford University recognizes the course as AIA2100 – Introduction to AI, which is a named course equivalency in the catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical understanding of AI concepts, decision-making, machine learning, and language technologies that can support work in fields connected to Nexford programs such as the Associate of Applied Science and Bachelor of Business Administration. Because Nexford records it as AIA2100 – Introduction to AI, the credit can fit into a degree plan as a specific course rather than just general elective credit.

Skills you walk away with

Explain core AI concepts, history, and major AI system typesAnalyze intelligent agents and AI search algorithmsWork with constraint satisfaction, Bayesian networks, and probabilistic reasoningApply supervised and unsupervised machine learning conceptsUse logical reasoning with propositional and first-order logicInterpret neural networks, deep learning, and natural language processing methodsEvaluate AI accuracy, precision, and ethical implications

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and Nexford University applies the credit as AIA2100 – Introduction to AI if it matches the equivalency. That named recognition matters because it shows the course is accepted as a specific catalog course, which can help it fit more cleanly into a Nexford degree plan than an unnamed elective. Nexford is an active transfer partner of UPI Study, offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, and allows up to 90 transfer credits toward an undergraduate program. For students building toward programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, that ceiling sets the upper limit on how much prior study can count.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to bring a clearly identified AI course into a Nexford degree plan and make use of the university’s transfer policy, which allows up to 90 credits or 75% of an undergraduate program to transfer. It is especially useful for students planning ahead for named recognition like AIA2100 – Introduction to AI, but it is not the best choice for someone who needs a different subject area or is not aiming to transfer into Nexford.
