Prior undergraduate coursework in business, management, economics, or related fields is expected. Students should have foundational preparation in core business disciplines and be ready for advanced, integrative strategic analysis across organizational functions. Prior experience with advanced generative AI capabilities, including multi-step workflows, verification, and tool-supported analysis, is expected. No coding experience is required.
