Two high‑profile business schools were singled out this cycle for embedding technology and AI across their MBA programs. The University of Washington’s Foster School earned recognition for integrating AI literacy and technology management into core curricula and accelerated MBA pathways that feed the Seattle tech market. Foster emphasized industry partnerships and measurable career mobility for graduates. IE Business School won an award for a campuswide AI push that includes a partnership to roll out ChatGPT Edu and a suite of executive modules on AI governance and implementation. Both schools are betting that embedding AI and industry‑specific tech practice into MBA training will drive outcomes and employer relevance as firms demand candidates with applied AI fluency.
