A first-of-its-kind bachelor’s program fusing AI foundations, Python, cloud computing, and business strategy — for professionals, bridging AI and Business
WASHINGON D.C., DC, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Nexford University, the AI-native online institution rewriting what a career-relevant degree looks like, today announced the launch of the Bachelor of Science in AI for Business (BSAIB) — a degree purpose-built to produce the workforce role companies cannot find fast enough: the AI Translator.
Most organizations have the tools. Almost none of them have the people who can connect AI capability to real business outcomes. That gap is what BSAIB was built to close.
Learners build a hybrid skill set spanning AI foundations, Python, SQL, cloud computing (AWS), intelligent process automation, low-code/API integration, and responsible AI for business decision-making — applied, not theoretical. The program is structured as a stackable course by course pathway: learners can start with paying for just one course at a time and progress to a full bachelor’s at their own pace, without an all-or-nothing commitment.
Statements from Leadership
Fadl Al Tarzi, CEO, Nexford University
“AI didn’t create a technology problem. It created a people problem. Sooner or later every organization will have the tools. But most organizations lack the professionals who can bridge AI capability and business execution. That is the most expensive skills gap in the market right now. BSAIB exists to close it.”
Dr. Ann Larson, Chief Academic Officer, Nexford University
“BSAIB was designed around a specific question: what does a professional need to know to apply AI inside a real business, not just understand it in theory. The program builds practical fluency across AI foundations, data, cloud, and business strategy because those disciplines do not operate in isolation in the workplace. They operate together. Our goal was to create a degree that reflects that reality — one that gives learners the technical grounding and the business context to add value from day one.
About the AI Translator — And Why Nexford Named It
The AI Translator is the professional who bridges business strategy and AI execution. Not a pure engineer. Not a non-technical executive. The person who understands the business objective, can direct the AI to serve it, and can communicate the output to the people who need to act on it.
Nexford coined and owns this role definition as a brand territory. The AI Translator isn’t a buzzword. It’s the job title companies don’t yet know how to post. BSAIB creates that person.
