Required coursework
In addition to the core and foundational MBA coursework, students completing the MBA with a concentration in artificial intelligence will need to complete three elective courses from the following list. Concentration courses may rotate based on timeliness, thought leadership, and student appeal.
Generative AI is transforming business productivity, making it essential for managers to adapt or risk falling behind competitors who leverage its power. This course prepares students to make a real impact in any field with GenAI, teaching practical skills like prompt engineering, AI workflow integration, and solution development. You'll also dive into ethical concerns and explore future trends, equipping you to lead with innovation and insight.
Just as you wouldn't apply a financial model to drive a marketing campaign, each business challenge calls for specific AI tools. In this course, you'll learn to assess AI technologies, recognize the right business problems for AI solutions, and create effective implementation strategies. By the end, you'll be equipped to tackle key challenges and design impactful AI-driven solutions.
AI brings transformative possibilities but also raises critical ethical challenges, from data privacy and bias to transparency and the role of human oversight. Navigating AI governance is crucial for any manager looking to implement this technology responsibly. In this course, you'll learn to develop ethical AI policies, manage AI-related risks, and effectively communicate governance standards to stakeholders.
AI projects enable businesses to forecast trends and optimize operations, providing insights into not only past events but also future actions. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to create real financial and operational impact by managing the full AI project lifecycle—from crafting project plans and handling data to ensuring smooth deployment and reporting outcomes to stakeholders.
