The Most Consequential AI transformation in Business Education

AI for All,
Regardless
of Your Program
or Major

Kogod students are at the forefront
of AI’s business transformation.

AI is in the DNA
of a Kogod Education

Every Kogod student has access to Perplexity AI's Enterprise Pro on any device, enabling deep research, collaboration, and creative thinking across business disciplines. Students also dive into 40+ AI business classes that prepare them for a business world transformed by AI.

We Complement AI Skills
with Deep Business Knowledge and
Core Interpersonal Skills

AI without business understanding is a tool with no purpose. But AI skills layered with deep domain knowledge in business AND the skillset of collaboration, adaptability, work ethic, and communication position our students' expertise for the ultimate career marketability. 

AI + Sustainability = Solutions at Scale

While we continue the important work of innovating for a more sustainable AI infrastructure, we also believe that AI is essential for reaching the scale needed to supercharge organizations’ sustainability impact and empower business leaders to build a better world.

We Convene AI Leaders
from Silicon Valley and Beyond

Our students meaningfully connect with the AI pioneers shaping our world—like Google’s President Kent Walker or Microsoft’s President Brad Smith.

Business Schools Are Going All in on AI: American University [and]
other top M.B.A. programs reorient courses around artificial intelligence.”
