AI and Robotics in Business Curriculum
The AI and Robotics in Business curriculum consists of four courses: two required courses and two electives. All students complete AI & Robotics in Business and AI-Enabled Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management, then choose two electives from topics such as marketing research, management information systems, leadership, organizational behavior, or a STEM-focused study abroad experience.
Students may also pursue the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (AIR) Concentration, which requires the same structure: two required AIR courses and two AIR-focused electives. The concentration provides additional focus on the application of artificial intelligence and robotics to business operations, technology management, leadership, and innovation.
