The Graduate Certificate in Information Ethics is intended to help students build a working knowledge of the primary theories, frameworks, concepts, and issues in information ethics, as well as to help students develop robust skills in ethical analysis and evaluation.
Students who complete the certificate will be able to conduct comprehensive ethics and value analysis and assessment of emerging issues and problems related to such things as data collection, management, and use; design and implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning; development and deployment of autonomous systems; and online, networked, and digital experiences and systems.
The certificate is open to students in any graduate program at Northeastern.
