TORONTO, Sept. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seneca Polytechnic is now offering its first-ever master’s degree with the introduction of the new Master of Artificial Intelligence Design & Development program. Combining an innovative, industry-focused curriculum with hands-on, work-integrated learning, the program will prepare graduates for high-demand careers. The new program was announced on Seneca’s website on September 12, 2025.
The two-year program bridges the gap between advanced AI theory and real-world business applications. Students will gain expertise in machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, data science and AI ethics, while developing the skills to design and deploy AI solutions across a wide range of industries.
The Master of AI program is the latest addition to Seneca’s roster of innovative AI offerings, joining the Artificial Intelligence graduate certificate and the Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering) degree.
“Launching our first master’s degree program is an historic moment for Seneca,” said David Agnew, President, Seneca Polytechnic. “This program reflects our commitment to innovation, applied research and industry collaboration, ensuring our graduates are not only job-ready but also equipped to lead in the AI-driven economy.”
The Master of AI program emphasizes work-integrated learning, offering students the opportunity to complete either two four-month internships or one eight-month internship, totalling 840 hours of hands-on experience. These placements, supported by Seneca’s strong industry partnerships, will allow students to apply their learning to real-world challenges and build valuable professional networks.
