IMMERSIVE TRACKS
You can take your graduate degree a step further with an Immersive Track. The courses are designed to prepare you to navigate our world of continuous change and unanticipated disruption. Access to progressive knowledge and novel insights is not enough to succeed in this landscape. You also must possess the skills and confidence to step to the forefront—pursuing an Immersive Track will help you make that happen.
Reshape Your Future
At Robinson, we have a well-steeped history in helping students change how they see the world, enabling them to not only visualize their future but also act on their dreams. Consider elevating your master’s education with an Immersive Track in Artificial Intelligence Innovation, Disruptive Innovation and Entrepreneurship, or Fintech Innovation.
The skills gained from our Immersive Tracks quench the needs in current and emerging market demands. How do we know? Because we designed them in consultation with executives from Fortune-class companies including Anthem, AT&T, The Coca-Cola Company, The Home Depot, NCR, and VMware, just to name a few.
Leverage the Known and Unknown
But what truly sets us apart is our Innovation Studios, which provide an experiential environment for students to network and collaborate. As part of interdisciplinary teams, students test prototypes, design compelling and competitive value propositions, and pitch to prospective customers and investors. They also develop critical soft skills like emotional intelligence, communication, and social influence/trust. Via a collision of perspectives and concepts, students become comfortable with ambiguity and experimentation, and build the courage to explore and leverage the known—and unknown—technologies that are profoundly impacting our world.

Artificial Intelligence Innovation
2 Courses
*Two Semesters Total.
New tools and packages are rapidly democratizing the field of data science, giving rise to the role of “citizen data scientists”—professionals who may not have deep programming skills but, with the right tools, are capable of leveraging advanced technologies as well as working with and leading teams of data scientists to create value and realize the potential of artificial intelligence. A recent Gartner study projects the number of citizen data scientists will grow five times faster than the number of expert data scientists in the next few years.
The Artificial Intelligence Innovation Immersive Track is designed with the citizen data scientist in mind. Students examine AI-related concepts that lead to discovery of innovative solutions to business challenges. Key topics include data programming, machine learning, and predictive analytics.
This Immersive Track can be pursued as part of these programs: our MBA, M.S. in Information Systems, and M.S. in Data Science & Analytics.
