The highest applied credential in AI — built for leaders.
A professional doctorate for experienced professionals who already lead with AI and want the title to match. You produce a real applied project in your own field — not a shelved research thesis — across 48 credits, 100% online, on a schedule built around your career.
If you hold a master's — finished or not, from any country — you can transfer up to 18 credits (six courses) straight into your electives. We treat every master's equally, regardless of institution or contact hours. The six AI specialization courses and your applied capstone stay with you — that's what makes the degree yours.
Tell us how many graduate courses you bring and watch your electives fill in — then see how many credits remain to your degree. An estimate; your advisor confirms the exact award.
Move the slider to the number of graduate courses you can transfer in — 3 credits each, up to six.
Your electives can be covered by several recognized sources — your advisor maps each to AGTU equivalencies.
Up to six courses (18 credits) from a finished master's, from any country or institution — treated equally regardless of contact hours.
Already hold a doctorate? It follows the same cap — a maximum of 18 transfer credits into your electives.
Didn't finish a master's? Completed graduate credits can still transfer with official documentation from the institution.
AGTU's edX partnership (Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, UC Berkeley) maps qualifying MicroMasters and professional certificates into elective credit.
We built credit transfer for a global student body. A master's from São Paulo, Lagos, Mumbai, Bogotá, or Dubai is evaluated on the same footing — no penalty for where you studied or how your transcript is formatted. And before you ever apply, a free preliminary consultation tells you exactly what's likely to transfer.
This is the most direct route: enter the doctorate and transfer up to 18 credits of your graduate work straight into electives — reaching the applied project, and your title, sooner.
Qualify through a highly selective review of your executive and academic profile. Not there yet? The Master's + Doctorate combo bundles both — and your transfer credits still apply.
