Elite business schools are reworking curricula to reflect AI’s impact on finance and dealmaking. Wharton unveiled a new academic track blending AI, ethics and governance for finance hopefuls; programs nationwide are adding AI modules and retraining faculty. The move aims to prepare graduates for roles where algorithmic tools automate junior bankers’ traditional tasks. Undergraduate demand is shifting: new AI-focused majors—like MIT’s “artificial intelligence and decision-making”—rose rapidly, reflecting students’ appetite for vocationally relevant AI skills. Schools are balancing ethical training with technical fluency to meet employer expectations.
