Which Top MBA programs have the best AI Courses?

Atul Jose (Admissions Consultant, F1GMAT): NYU Stern, MIT Sloan, and Columbia Business School are among the top-tier business schools that offer AI courses in multiple management functions.

NYU Stern School of Business stands out, offering a range of electives such as "Strategic Management of AI," "Introduction to AI & Its Applications in Business," and "Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and the Platform Revolution." NYU Stern School of Business recognizes AI's applicability in technology, business, and real estate, mirroring the application of AI in popular industries.

MIT Sloan School of Management similarly embraces AI through courses like "AI for Impact: Solving Societal-Scale Problems" and "Global Business of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics." Sloan takes a comprehensive approach, intertwining AI with technology, global learning, business analytics, and financial markets, indicating its commitment to producing AI-literate global decision-makers.

Columbia Business School emphasizes AI's application in all job functions with courses like "Generative AI for Business," while Wharton Business School explores AI's societal implications through "A.I., Business, and Society" and "AI in Our Lives."

Johnson Graduate School of Business, Jones Graduate School of Business, and Kelley School of Business delve into AI's applications in marketing, management, and product development. Johnson and UNC focus on AI's impact on marketing, while Jones and Kelley Schools emphasize AI's integration into management and business practices. This trend extends to UNC-Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School, BU Questrom School of Business, and UC Davis Graduate School of Business, where courses like "Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Business" and "Artificial Intelligence in Marketing" underscore AI's role in driving informed decision-making across diverse business domains.

BU Questrom and UC Davis have taken a traditional approach by focusing on integrating AI into function with the most complex data - business analytics.
