Overview
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the extraordinary power to transform industry operations, customer experience, as well as product and service design. The opportunity to implement artificial intelligence cuts across every sector. Harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence for competitive performance requires a new type of professional. One who not only understands the capacity of the science, but has the expertise to apply it to organizational needs and strategies, and the leadership skills to navigate through the ethical, economic, and societal implications of artificial intelligence implementation.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Georgian College's Artificial Intelligence Leadership and Management programme page requires an Ontario College Diploma, Advanced Diploma, degree or equivalent, and notes that education or experience in a business setting is desirable though not stated as mandatory. No standardised English-language test score is published for this route. Students must bring a personal laptop meeting the program's Bring Your Own Device requirements and are responsible for its cost, software installation, maintenance and repair. The page sets no separate admission average, portfolio or interview requirement beyond the credential itself, and does not indicate whether the coordinator screens applicants for relevant background before offer. The page lists Fall 2026 and Fall 2027 intakes, both at the Barrie campus.
Application Details
Start Date:Intakes Georgian lists on this program's own page (checked 6 September 2026): Fall 2026 at Barrie; Fall 2027 at Barrie. Campus names are the ones Georgian gives for each start; not every campus runs every intake. On Georgian's academic calendar for standard 14-week programs, the fall term opens with orientation on 8 September 2026 and classes on 9 September 2026; the fall term opens with orientation on 7 September 2027 and classes on 8 September 2027. Individual programs vary from that pattern.
Application Deadline:Georgian publishes no deadline unique to this program, and it is not on the college's highly competitive list for Fall 2026 entry. The dates below are the college-wide ones.
DOMESTIC APPLICANTS (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through ontariocolleges.ca. 1 February is the equal consideration date: an application received on or before it is weighed alongside every other application received by then, while later ones are handled in the order they arrive for as long as seats last. Georgian's own worked example ties each 1 February to the fall, winter and summer that follow, so the date now in force is 1 February 2027 for entry in Fall 2027, Winter 2028 or Summer 2028. Letters of acceptance for most programs start going out on 1 November (1 November 2026 in the current cycle) and keep going until a program fills; an offer is confirmed back through ontariocolleges.ca by the deadline printed on it, normally 1 May (1 May 2027 this cycle), and only one offer may be held at a time. Late applicants can still receive an offer as far as the fifth day of the term. For a program in this category Georgian normally keeps accepting applicants after 1 February — check ontariocolleges.ca for current availability.
INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS have no fixed cut-off. They apply directly to Georgian through its own applicant portal, which is also where a program's availability to international students is shown, and applications are taken year-round subject to that availability — Georgian warns that a program open when you apply can be closed by the time your file is assessed, and urges applying early enough to leave time for a study permit. A CAD 100 application fee applies, and a seat is only held once the pre-admission invoice is accepted and the non-refundable CAD 2,500 deposit is paid.
