Open doors for a rewarding career with our graduate programs
There is unprecedented demand to apply artificial intelligence, data-driven technologies, and computational solutions to our most challenging problems. Meharry SACS will empower you to tackle these challenges in healthcare, drug discovery, technology, and business. As an HBCU, we’re committed to diversifying the tech profession—because diverse teams create better algorithms and computing tools that serve everyone.
From Meharry to AI Engineer
As a student, Brittany City focused on building her post-Meharry career, using her classes to develop a portfolio of diverse projects.
Today, she is a conversational AI engineer for Ticketmaster.
As a student, she reflected on the importance of hands-on, classroom projects.
“It is important to have experience with projects using different data science models so that I have an example for each one. Then I can discuss examples of work I’ve done related to a company or the personal interests of an interviewer.”
Build a portfolio of real-world experience
Prepare to impress future employers with examples of faculty-assisted research. You could apply your education to:
- Uncover new drug treatments from biological data
- Leverage AI to solve complex problems,
- Predict cancer risks,
- Novel solutions to protect clinical data
- Address health disparities, and
- Building and securing the computing technologies that make these impacts possible.
Live, online classes held in the evening
Our online learning environment is a lot like an in-person classroom. We just add the convenience of the virtual setting. Faculty will engage you through interactive class lectures, office hours, in-class exercises and projects.
All classes are held in the evening. You can also continue to earn salary and benefits while you pursue your degree. Plus, your colleagues will notice your expanding skillset and expertise.
Hands-on, project-based learning
We emphasize a practical approach to learning. You will learn to master classroom concepts through several hands-on, individual and group projects that use real-world data. These projects will empower you to develop the problem-solving abilities necessary for success in the field.
