Nexford University Launches Online Master's in AI and Technology Management for Working Leaders

Executives are being asked to make AI-informed decisions, lead transformation, and deliver outcomes. Most don't have time to pause their careers or learn to code. Nexford University's new Master of Science in AI and Technology Management (MSAI) is built for that reality.

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."
