BIM, Texas university to offer course on AI in Business from next year

The Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM) in India and the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in the United States have announced plans to collaborate on a new Master of Science programme starting in August 2027. The Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence for Business (MSAIB) is designed for working professionals in India who wish to enhance their skills to secure better job opportunities in multinational companies.

The tuition fee for the two-year program is estimated to be around $27,000. The course will be offered as a hybrid program, with classes held at the IIT-Madras Research Park, a technology hub that will provide students with access to industry interactions. With a first cohort of 25 students, the MSAIB will provide a platform for young professionals to learn from a curriculum identical to that offered at UTA's Arlington campus.

The faculty for the course will spend approximately a week on the Chennai campus, with the remaining classes conducted online. Admission to the program will consider a candidate's academic performance, rigor of courses taken, exposure to mathematics, and job experience.
