Garden City, NY (04/23/2026) — Adelphi University is expanding its Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning program to its new Manhattan Center, beginning in Fall 2026.
The M.S. in AI program aims to equip professionals to "future-proof" their career with the advanced skills, knowledge and experience necessary to excel in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the technology industry. Graduates will be well-positioned to enter a rapidly expanding field where the average base salary for AI and Machine Learning Engineers routinely exceeds $140,000, ensuring an immediate and significant return on their educational investment.
With the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting a 36 percent job growth rate for data and AI scientists over the next decade-far outpacing the national average-this program offers true job security in tomorrow's economy.
A Flexible Graduate Degree for Professionals in the Heart of NYC
The Adelphi's Manhattan Center, located at 529 Fifth Avenue, offers students proximity to New York City's dynamic tech landscape. Beyond convenience, our midtown location immerses students in New York's Silicon Alley. This proximity provides unparalleled networking opportunities, allowing working professionals to easily connect with corporate recruiters, attend local tech industry events and secure internships with leading Manhattan-based firms.
Just steps from Grand Central Station, it provides convenient access for working professionals seeking to advance their careers in AI and machine learning as well as offering other graduate and professional programs in business, human resources, education, social work, creative writing and nursing.
A Multidisciplinary Curriculum Focused on Career Success
Graduates of this program will be well-positioned for roles in technology or mainstream firms-including positions such as AI engineer, machine learning engineer, data scientist or software engineer. As an eight-time consecutive winner of the Inspiring Programs in STEM Award from Insight Into Academia, Adelphi offers an innovative curriculum that integrates its strengths in mathematics, statistics and computer science, providing a multidisciplinary approach to AI and machine learning. As part of their coursework, students will develop algorithms and build, assess and optimize their own machine learning models, graduating with a robust portfolio of practical, real-world solutions.
And, unlike massive tech boot camps or crowded lecture halls, Adelphi brings its signature personalized approach to the AI discipline. Students benefit from small class sizes and direct mentorship from world-class faculty, ensuring they fully master complex ideas rather than just becoming a number in a system.
Applications for the Fall 2026 cohort are now open, and prospective students are encouraged to attend the Manhattan Center Open House on May 13 to explore the new facilities and program offerings.
Manhattan Advantage Scholarship for Students - $10,000 Award
Breaking down financial barriers for tomorrow's leaders, Adelphi has unveiled the $10,000 Manhattan Advantage Award-a significant tuition reduction designed to make the University's sought-after career-focused master's degrees more accessible.
To be eligible for the Manhattan Advantage Award, students must be admitted to a participating graduate program at the Manhattan Center, enrolled in a new or designated Manhattan-based program, and meet all admissions and enrollment requirements.
