Overview

In this Artificial Intelligence Program, you'll learn to solve complex computer problems through mathematics, data preparation, and algorithms. You'll apply AI knowledge to real, hands-on case studies that resolve specific issues, then carry those artificial intelligence and machine learning skills into sectors such as FinTech, video games, and cybersecurity.

About the Artificial Intelligence Program

Build the applied skills in artificial intelligence the industry demands, from programming to deep learning, through LaSalle College Montréal's Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning program (ACS).

You gain job-ready skills in artificial intelligence and apply that knowledge across data-driven sectors, including FinTech, video games, and cybersecurity, building a data-driven career.

Upcoming Sessions

LaSalle College has three annual start dates: fall, winter, and summer.

We accept applications at any time. Registration is open year-round.

Processing time:

  • Canadian applicants: up to two weeks,
  • International applicants: up to six months.

Submit your application as soon as possible to ensure a spot in your desired semester.

Note that applications are not processed until all required, validated documents and admission fees are received.

Admissions Criteria

Exceptions to these admission criteria may be applied.

Every application is reviewed by the College.

To be eligible for acceptance into an ACS program, applicants are generally required to meet one of the following criteria:

  • Have completed the following course: Mathematics TS, SN Secondary IV or CST 5 (Math 436); and

  • Have interrupted their full-time studies for at least two (2) consecutive semesters or one (1) full school year; or

  • Have followed post-secondary studies for a period of at least one (1) year; or

  • Have a Secondary School Diploma (DES) or a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DVS), and the program allows them to receive a technical training that is not available in a DCS program; or

  • Have an equivalent education or an instruction deemed sufficient and meet the admission criteria set for college studies.
