We got tired of fake reviews, outdated rankings, and universities hiding their actual outcomes. So we built this.
Look, we’re not going to pretend we’re some nonprofit with a noble mission statement written by a marketing team.
AI Graduate started because we—a group of folks who’ve worked or advised companies like Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Microsoft, Blackstone, and various unicorn startups—kept getting hit up by friends, family, and random LinkedIn connections asking: “Should I get an AI Master’s? Which program? Is it worth the debt? What about those bootcamps?”
And every time we’d Google it for them, we’d find the same garbage: university marketing brochures disguised as “objective reviews,” outdated Reddit threads from 2019, and sketchy sites selling courses nobody asked for.
So we said screw it—let’s just build the resource we wished existed. Real data. Actual outcomes. No fake testimonials from “Sarah M., Data Scientist” with a stock photo. Just straight-up information so people can make informed decisions about dropping $50K-$100K on grad school.
That’s it. That’s the origin story. No Silicon Valley fairy tale. Just people trying to help other people not waste time and money.
We aggregate and verify program data
1,600+ AI programs. We check course catalogs, tuition, outcomes—not just copy university press releases.
We build tools that actually help
ROI calculators, salary projections, program matchers—stuff you can actually use to make decisions, not just content marketing fluff.
We tell you when we make money
Yeah, we work with universities. Some links are affiliate links. We're upfront about it because we're not pretending to be a charity. But it doesn't change our data or recommendations.
We update our data
Unlike those "Top 10 AI Programs" articles from 2022 still ranking on Google, we actually refresh our data. Programs change. Costs change. We update accordingly.
