Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Which course should I take?

Since 2023, our enrollments have doubled! We have streamlined our AI course offerings to accommodate more students:

  1. Undergraduates: NBA 4920, which is preapproved for both the AI minor and data science minor.

  2. Graduate students in the MBA program: NBA 6921

  3. Graduate students in the executive MBA program: NBAE 6921

  4. Graduate students in other masters programs: NBA 6921 and 6925, which are preapproved for a variety of masters programs.

  5. Graduate students in PhD programs: NRE 5220 (not offered every semester) and/or NBA 6921 and 6925.

NBA 6925 is the advanced builder-focused follow-up to NBA 6921. It is a required follow-up for non-MBA graduate students.
