Nazareth offers new online Master of Science in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence

Published April 16, 2026

Nazareth University is launching a new, flexible online option for graduate students who want to learn advanced data analytics techniques and AI skills from anywhere in the world, at any time of day. 

Nazareth’s Business Analytics & Artificial Intelligence M.S. program is now offered asynchronously online. That means that in addition to the existing in-person and synchronous online formats, students will now have the option to complete the fully online degree with flexible timing from anywhere they live or work.

The program is ideal for:

  • Recent graduates with a background in business, computer science, or quantitative disciplines:
  • International students seeking advanced STEM education and extended OPT opportunities (Those here on a student visa who expect to use the OPT visa program must attend on campus)
  • Working professionals aiming to upskill in AI-driven business strategies
  • Individuals passionate about leading in a data-rich, AI-powered environment

“As AI reshapes how organizations operate, the ability to translate data into automated, intelligent decision-making is becoming a core business capability. This program prepares students to lead that shift,” said Jeffrey Allan, director of the Business Analytics and AI grad program, and director of Nazareth’s Institute for Responsible Technology.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 36% growth in data science and analytics roles over the next decade.
