Georgetown's School of Continuing Studies Launches Master's in Artificial Intelligence Management

The global Artificial Intelligence (AI) market is projected to be worth over $1.8 trillion by 2030. With AI already transforming a vast range of industries, today's organizations need bold leaders who can not only drive AI innovation, but also harness its immense potential. To meet this critical need, Georgetown University's School of Continuing Studies (SCS) is launching a new master's program: the Master of Professional Studies in Artificial Intelligence Management.

The interdisciplinary Master's in AI Management program bridges the gap between technical AI expertise and strategic business management. It is structured with two key focus areas: AI Strategy and Leadership, which is geared towards professionals seeking experience in managing AI-related projects; and AI Development and Integration, which is suited for those with existing programming background and technical expertise in AI. In a first for SCS, the AI Management program will also be offered in a one-year, accelerated full-time track, in addition to the standard part-time enrollment option.

"As we're seeing in real-time, AI is not just a technical tool, but a driver of business transformation. There is a rising demand for leaders who understand and can leverage AI for strategic advantages," says Kelly Otter, Ph.D., dean of the School. "Through this innovative program, students will be empowered with the holistic skills and knowledge to spark AI-centered innovation and integration in their organizations."

"I believe that Master's in Artificial Intelligence Management will fill a critical gap in the education landscape and produce talent and leaders that the industry is seeking to hire," comments Rachel Wortman Morris, Ph.D., managing director of the Future Skills Initiative for Microsoft.

The AI Management program will be available online, with plans for launching an on-campus modality in the future. Spanning AI, data science, ethics, business strategy, and leadership, the interdisciplinary program will appeal to mid- to senior-level professionals seeking to advance to AI-related roles, such as AI specialists, product managers, directors, ethicists, and solutions consultants.

True to SCS's Georgetown and Jesuit values, ethics comprise a core course. "With the proliferation of AI across industries–achieving decidedly mixed results–ethical considerations and responsible AI are imperative to know in business settings," adds Frederic Lemieux, Ph.D., faculty director and professor of the practice. "Students will be immersed in the ethical frameworks and decision-making models to navigate the complex ethical landscape and legal considerations inherent in the use of AI–ensuring responsible and sustainable AI solutions."

In addition to ethics, students in the AI Management program will be trained in other critical competencies, including but not limited to: developing adaptive and innovative AI strategies that enhance customer experiences and foster cross-functional collaboration; managing AI projects; and analyzing and integrating cultural nuances of human-AI interactions to design inclusive and diverse AI solutions.

With the launch of the Master's in AI Management program, SCS is committed to fostering the workforce of tomorrow through a world-class, values-based education unique to Georgetown. The School continues to pioneer new program offerings related to AI. This fall, SCS will offer two non-credit online certificates in Generative AI and in AI Governance and Compliance.

Applications for the Master's in Artificial Intelligence Management are now open, with classes beginning Fall 2025. For more information, prospective students can sign up for a virtual webinar on October 14, as well as a virtual sample class on November 14.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
