Why the AI Academy

Most AI courses teach you about AI. Ours has you ship something your office can use on Monday.

Practitioner-led

Taught by people doing this work in higher ed today: a Dean of Enrollment, a former university Director of Content Strategy, a former enrollment AVP turned AI founder, and the former COO and Head of AI of a CRM used by 350+ institutions.

Higher-ed specific

Every example, dataset, and case comes from higher ed. Build agents on your own institution's public web pages, redesign a real stage of your enrollment funnel, and get clear guidance on student data and IT approval.

Applied by design

You build it, test it, and show it. The Agent Builder badge goes only to learners who ship and demo a working agent. The enrollment track ends with a tested AI component, a measurement plan, and a case for leadership.
