Program details
Overview
Cape Breton University's Master of Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics is a 16-month graduate program hosted by the Shannon School of Business, delivered in-person on the CBU campus with both full-time and part-time study options. The curriculum covers data analysis, visualization and enterprise technology use, predictive modelling and practical machine learning, applied AI and AI ethics, and sustainability and supply-chain analytics grounded in Indigenous principles. In the final study semester, students choose between completing a 420-hour internship or a Master's project. The program is described as preparing students to lead with the technical, analytical and ethical skills needed in a data-driven global economy, aimed at graduates seeking advanced quantitative and analytical training rather than a general business degree. Career paths named include business analyst, machine learning engineer, AI specialist, and public sector data analyst, indicating a program oriented toward applied data science and analytics roles across both private and public sector employers. The combination of a required internship-or-project capstone and the in-person delivery format point to a program designed for students able to relocate to the Cape Breton Island campus for the duration of their studies.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.0
