Boston University Launches Online Master of Science in Enterprise AI

The Faculty of Computing and Data Sciences is proud to announce the launch of its online Master of Science in Enterprise AI, a new, cutting-edge graduate program within BU’s expanding AI Cluster. This cluster of programs is designed to help students prepare to lead in an evolving world of work, one where artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, roles, and leadership expectations.

As organizations move beyond experimentation to embedding AI into products, workflows, and strategic decision-making, the demand for professionals who can design, deploy, govern, and scale AI systems at enterprise scale has never been greater. The online Master of Science in Enterprise AI is built to meet this moment.


Program Overview

  • 100% Online – Designed for working professionals balancing career and life commitments
  • Program Length: Complete in as little as 16 months
  • Credits: 30 credits across 12 courses
  • Learning Experience: Live online sessions, applied labs, collaborative projects, and a capstone focused on real enterprise challenges

Students gain hands-on experience across the enterprise AI stack, including AI systems architecture, large language models, deployment pipelines, governance, risk, and ethical implementation – preparing them to move AI initiatives from pilot to production.


Who This Program Is For

The Online Master of Science in Enterprise AI is designed for professionals who want to lead AI initiatives within complex organizations, including:

  • AI and machine learning engineers
  • Data engineers and MLOps professionals
  • Technical product managers and program leaders
  • Enterprise architects and AI governance professionals
  • Business and technology leaders driving AI transformation

Whether you are deepening your technical expertise or expanding into leadership, this program equips you with the skills to translate AI potential into real organizational impact.


Why Enroll Now

Artificial intelligence is already transforming how organizations operate, but many still struggle to scale AI responsibly and effectively. This program uniquely combines technical rigor, enterprise execution, and strategic leadership, enabling graduates to:

  • Operationalize AI systems at scale
  • Manage AI risk, governance, and compliance
  • Lead cross-functional teams working with AI technologies
  • Drive measurable business and societal value through AI

“This program takes the deep technical foundations from data science and computer science and connects them to real enterprise challenges. You’ll learn how to operationalize AI, build resilient AI systems, manage risk and governance, and lead interdisciplinary teams.”

— Azer Bestavros, Warren Distinguished Professor of Computer Science and Associate Provost for Computing & Data Sciences

The Online Master of Science in Enterprise AI builds on the success of Boston University’s highly regarded Online Master’s in Data Science, extending that foundation for professionals whose work now sits at the intersection of AI systems, organizational scale, and real-world deployment. While the Data Science program focuses on statistical methods, modeling, and analytical techniques, Enterprise AI is designed for those who want to move beyond analysis into building, deploying, governing, and leading AI systems in complex enterprise environments. This program may be a better fit for professionals who are less interested in exploratory modeling and more focused on operationalizing AI, integrating large language models into production systems, managing risk and governance, and driving AI adoption across teams and organizations.
