UPSKILL YOUR TEAM
Our world of continuous change and unanticipated disruption offers boundless opportunities for re-invention and creative ways of looking at complex problems. Access to progressive knowledge and novel insights is not enough to succeed in this landscape. You also must possess the skills and confidence to step to the forefront—to take the lead and make it happen.
Prepare Your Team to Pivot & Innovate
For your organization to stay ahead of the curve, your staff must possess up-to-the-minute skills. But, in our world of constant change and unanticipated disruption, fostering your employees’ professional development is more challenging than ever.
At Robinson, we have a well-steeped history in helping students merge the areas of business and technology, equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to solve incredibly complex problems. In addition to graduate degrees, we now offer three Stackable Graduate Certificates in Artificial Intelligence Business Innovation, Disruption Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Fintech Innovation.
Our Stackable Graduate Certificates require less commitment than full-blown master’s programs, in terms of both money and time. Classes occur two evenings per week, and your staff will regularly bring new insights to the office over the course of their studies. Once they graduate after just two semesters, you’ll have your very own team of in-house technology experts.
Tackle Your Organization’s Issues
Your company likely is facing at least one confounding issue. By sending a cross-disciplinary group to Robinson, you can charge your team members with solving the problem together throughout one of our Stackable Graduate Certificates. They also can test a prototype in our Studio Innovation Experience, a set of two experiential courses that equip students with the skills to bring pipe dreams into fruition—more on that below.
Flexible Attendance Options
Classes occur two nights per week, both in person and online. If students can’t make it to campus, they can log in to our advanced learning platform, Robinson Anywhere.
What is Robinson Anywhere?
Robinson Anywhere is as close to in-person interaction as it gets. In fact, we think it’s even better. Students engage in real-time dialogue with instructors, guest speakers, and industry leaders, and hear the perspectives of students from all over the world.
Leverage the Known and Unknown
A mix of known—and unknown—technologies are profoundly impacting our world. A firm understanding of these technologies might be what’s missing from your organization—and what’s standing in the way of your success. Our Stackable Graduate Certificates train students to become comfortable with ambiguity and experimentation. It all happens in our Innovation Studios, an experiential learning environment that sets our Stackable Graduate Certificates apart from other corporate education offerings.
As part of interdisciplinary groups, students test prototypes, design compelling and competitive value propositions, and pitch to prospective customers and investors. They also develop critical soft skills like emotional intelligence, communication, social influence/trust, and thriving in cross-functional teams.
Classes Start in August
Applying for a Stackable Graduate Certificate is easy through our online application process. Plus, a GMAT/GRE is not required for admission. The application deadline is August 1, and classes start August 24. There’s still time to get your staff on board!

*Two Semesters Total.
New tools and packages are rapidly democratizing the field of data science, giving rise to the role of “citizen data scientists”—professionals who may not have deep programming skills but, with the right tools, are capable of leveraging advanced technologies as well as working with and leading teams of data scientists to create value and realize the potential of artificial intelligence. A recent Gartner study projects the number of citizen data scientists will grow five times faster than the number of expert data scientists in the next few years.
The Artificial Intelligence Innovation Graduate Stackable Certificate is designed with the citizen data scientist in mind. Students examine AI-related concepts that lead to discovery of innovative solutions to business challenges. Key topics include data programming, machine learning, and predictive analytics.
