M.S. in Artificial Intelligence

Lead the Strategic and Responsible Use of AI

Regent University’s Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence is a 30-credit, fully online graduate program designed to equip professionals with advanced expertise in AI theory, development, and deployment. By combining a rigorous conceptual foundation with hands-on application, the program is structured to help students develop the skills needed to guide the strategic and responsible use of AI across a range of professional contexts. Grounded in a Christian worldview, the program addresses both the technical and ethical dimensions of AI, including how to apply these powerful tools as instruments to honor God and serve others.

Location: Online

Total Credit Hours: 30

Built For Application

Rather than focusing primarily on mathematical abstraction, the program is designed to develop practical expertise in building, managing, and deploying AI systems in real-world contexts. Students can work with AI technologies and tools with an emphasis on hands-on usage, best practices, and applied problem-solving.

A Christian Perspective on AI

AI raises some of the most pressing ethical questions of our time. This program is designed to address those questions head-on from a biblical worldview — with dedicated coursework in cybersecurity ethics and, optionally, the social, political, and theological implications of technology to promote ethical grounding.

Interdisciplinary Electives for a Range of Career Paths

Students can choose three elective courses from a diverse menu that spans AI for business decision-making, AI-driven innovation and entrepreneurship, AI in education, educational technology, government and policy, and organizational leadership. With this flexibility, students can tailor the degree to the professional context in which they intend to apply their expertise.
