Curriculum

In an increasingly complex business world, every advantage must be leveraged to create new opportunities and to take advantage of existing ones. As a result, a plethora of decisions must be made rapidly, weighing complex options and consequences. Artificial intelligence helps you gather, analyze, and interpret data, while business analytics empowers you to make better decisions with confidence. Learn to use a scientific method based on data and insights about the structure of business problems and anticipate and manage the consequences of those decisions in the part-time Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence program.

“The program struck a strong balance between theory and practice, frequently requiring us to tackle real business problems that made the material especially relevant and engaging. Carey provided a supportive network and resources—from career services to alumni events—that helped me stay connected and motivated.”
