Georgia State Launches Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Business Transformation

Georgia State University’s Robinson College of Business will introduce a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Business Transformation (MSAIBT) starting fall 2026. The three-semester, 30-credit program aims to train professionals capable of leading AI-driven business transformations by merging technical AI skills with domain-specific knowledge. Students will complete two graduate certificates—one in AI (such as Generative AI and Machine Learning for Business, Artificial Intelligence for Data-Driven Business, or Artificial Intelligence for Digital Innovation) and another in a business domain like accounting, fintech, or global sustainability—before tackling a real-world AI business challenge in a capstone course. The program builds on Robinson’s strengths in information systems and applied technology, addressing industry demand for professionals who can bridge AI and business strategy. Partnerships with strategic industry collaborators will provide hands-on experience applying AI to operational and innovation challenges. Dean Richard Phillips emphasized the program’s alignment with the evolving economy, equipping graduates to drive AI-enabled change across industries. Students can pursue coursework online or in person, with flexibility in selecting business domain certificates such as brand management, human resource management, or digital marketing. The curriculum ensures graduates gain practical experience through projects with Robinson’s industry partners, preparing them to lead organizational transformation. The initiative reflects broader efforts to prepare the workforce for an AI-driven economy, supported by donors like Jeff and Sherry Hwang, who credited Georgia State for their own career success in technology and business. The program’s launch underscores the university’s commitment to fostering innovation and leadership in emerging technologies.
