Artificial Intelligence in Business Major

The artificial intelligence revolution is not merely a technical shift; it is a fundamental transformation of global economies and social structures. The Artificial Intelligence in Business (AIBU) major at Marquette prepares students to enter industry with more than just technical literacy — it offers ground-breaking insight into how AI tools are actively re-engineering the DNA of modern business. 

Future-focused. Workforce-ready.

As organizations increasingly pivot toward AI, the demand for "AI-fluent" candidates has reached a critical threshold. Practical AI knowledge is no longer a luxury but a professional necessity. This major is designed to bridge that talent gap, equiping graduates with the skills needed to create value and meaningful outcomes for organizations using AI tools.

Launching in Fall 2026, the Artificial Intelligence in Business (AIBU) major will prepare students to use AI effectively and ethically in today’s dynamic business landscape. Students will gain hands-on experience using AI tools, including GenAI and Agentic AI, while exploring their real-world applications in business.
