Master of Management in Artificial Intelligence Scholarships at the Schulich School of Business 2021

The Schulich School of Business is looking for Coders, Innovators, and AI Visionaries to join its Master of Management in Artificial Intelligence program.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is undergoing a landmark evolution, transforming the private and public sectors. As organizations adopt and invest in AI technology, a new style of management is needed – one that pairs a leader’s vision with a scientist’s mastery over a growing body of specialized knowledge.

The 12-month full-time Master of Management in Artificial Intelligence (MMAI) is designed to meet the growing need for talented professionals with the skills and advanced applied knowledge to develop, evaluate, refine and implement AI-related applications and technologies.

The immersive curriculum offers a technical foundation in natural language processing, computational methods, and modeling, paired with core business skills. Students will explore a critically evolving ethical landscape as they confront moral topics in AI, such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, and intelligent agent autonomy.

The capstone Artificial Intelligence Consulting Project (AICP) provides students with an opportunity to solve a significant business problem by designing a managerial approach. Working in the Deloitte Cognitive Analytics and Visualization Lab student teams will deliver a solution to a client organization, interacting with industry managers, technicians, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

The MMAI program is recognized by the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence as delivering a curriculum that equips its graduates with the skills and competencies sought by industry. All MMAI students are eligible for Vector Institute Scholarships valued at $17,500.
