Nexford University Launches Online MSAI to Help Managers Lead AI and Technology Change
Nexford University has introduced its Master of Science in AI and Technology Management (MSAI), a fully online graduate program for working professionals. It's built for managers who need to lead AI initiatives and digital change without pausing their careers-or learning to code.
"AI is no longer a technical specialty reserved for engineers," said Fadl Al Tarzi, Nexford's Co-Founder and CEO. "It's a leadership capability. The MSAI is designed for professionals who are expected to make AI-informed decisions, lead transformation, and drive real business outcomes-without putting their careers on pause."
