Pitt Business 2030 has five strategic commitments: One Pitt Business, Business for All, Research with Impact, Engage Pittsburgh, and Reimagine Programs.

Since its launch in 2023, there’s been progress across all five. The commitment to reimagine programs has perhaps seen the largest change, especially in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).

The University of Pittsburgh School of Business has four new offerings across our graduate and undergraduate programs to ensure that our students become career-ready leaders with an understanding of the capabilities and pitfalls of AI. The ability to leverage AI for sophisticated data analytics, content generation, and strategic decision-making is essential for career advancement and competitive advantage.

As businesses increasingly use data and artificial intelligence to make decisions and improve operations, these programs will help students build the skills needed to succeed in this rapidly changing field.

Master of Science in Analytics & Applications of AI for Business (Graduate)

The new Master of Science in Analytics & Applications of AI for Business combines business analytics and AI, giving students hands-on experience solving real-world business challenges.

Through practical learning opportunities, students develop skills in four key areas:

  • Using analytics and AI to drive business decisions
  • Designing agentic AI workflows for automation
  • Leading responsible AI implementation
  • Aligning AI strategy with business goals

Micro-Credential & Certificate in Foundations of AI for Business (Graduate)

The Certificate in Foundations of AI for Business  offering can be pursued as a 15-credit certificate or as a nine-credit micro-credential. They are designed to provide students with the core technical and strategic AI competencies for business applications.
