UGA Terry and Georgia State Robinson now give Georgia two distinctly AI-forward business-technology master’s options. UGA’s newly retooled MS Business & Artificial Intelligence is fully online for working professionals; Georgia State’s MSIS is an in-person accelerated/part-time information-systems degree with explicit generative and agentic AI content.

Curriculum difference
UGA requires Foundations of AI in Business, AI-integrated application development, databases, project/product management and an AI technology capstone, with GenAI and digital-transformation electives. Georgia State centers AI-enabled process innovation, generative AI, AI security/privacy and agentic AI and includes an internship/field study.
Cost and career evidence
UGA says a student following the recommended pace under its 2025–26 rate would have paid $25,380 in tuition plus online fees; applicants should use the current E-Rate calculator for their year. Georgia State publishes salary-growth and top-quartile starting-salary signals. UGA’s current program page displays a 100% career-outcomes headline inherited from a program retooled in 2026 but does not show a cohort/denominator beside that claim, so MSITM.com keeps the methodology caveat visible.
