Nexford University Launches M.S. in AI and Technology Management for Working Executives
Nexford University has introduced a fully online Master of Science in AI and Technology Management (MSAI). The degree is built for professionals who need to lead AI initiatives and digital transformation without stepping away from their roles-or learning to code.
The focus is simple: make better decisions, deploy AI where it actually moves the needle, and lead change across the business with confidence.
Why this matters for executives
Boards and customers expect measurable ROI from AI-now. This program is built to help leaders translate strategy into execution, with the right mix of technology awareness, risk posture, and organizational change skills.
As one leader put it, AI isn't just an engineering topic anymore. It's a leadership capability that touches product, operations, finance, and customer experience.
What makes the MSAI different
- Real-world application: Less theory, more hands-on frameworks you can use in planning cycles, product roadmaps, and process redesign.
- Cross-functional leadership: Lead initiatives across product, operations, and IT-no coding required.
- Built for busy professionals: 100% online with pay-as-you-go tuition and predictable monthly billing.
Roles graduates are prepared for
- Product Manager
- AI Project Manager
- Digital Transformation Lead
- Process Automation Manager
- Business Process Manager
- Technology and Automation Lead
- Digital Operations Manager
Skills you'll build
- AI strategy and implementation
- Applied machine learning concepts for business
- Technology-enabled product management
- Business process automation
- Design thinking
- Change management
- Cybersecurity leadership
- Law and ethics of information technology
The program culminates in an AI and Technology Management Capstone, where learners solve a real organizational challenge and show measurable outcomes.
Format, flexibility, and affordability
The MSAI is 100% online. The pay-as-you-go model keeps costs predictable with monthly billing, so professionals can maintain income and momentum while they study.
This setup works well for leaders managing teams, budgets, and deadlines who can't afford a break in execution.
Admissions
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent
- Proof of identity
- Proof of English proficiency for non-native speakers
No GMAT or GRE is required. Foundation courses may be assigned based on prior academic background.
Governance and risk fit
For executives building policy and oversight around AI, the program's treatment of ethics and cybersecurity aligns with widely referenced guidance such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. That foundation supports practical decisions on model use, data controls, and accountability.
Where this degree adds value
- You need to evaluate AI investments and defend the business case.
- Your teams are piloting automation, but adoption stalls without clear change management.
- Product and ops leaders need a shared playbook for AI in roadmaps and processes.
- You want measurable outcomes-cycle time reductions, cost savings, improved CSAT-without adding technical debt.
