Every industry is being rebuilt around artificial intelligence right now, and the people who understand it are the ones being handed the decisions. That advantage has a shelf life, the way spreadsheet literacy stopped being a differentiator a generation ago. The advantage belongs to whoever moves while it is still an advantage.
Between the team that builds the technology and the table where investment is decided, few people speak both languages. The program pairs the foundations of management (strategy, marketing, finance, operations and leadership) with AI, digital transformation and data analytics, so you can judge where AI creates value, what it costs, and how to lead the change it requires.
For senior and leadership positions, a master’s degree is often a formal requirement, applied before anyone reads your experience. This program meets it with an American graduate degree and adds what experience alone may not show: the ability to base decisions on data and to govern AI responsibly. That combination changes which conversations you are invited into.
AI strategy lead, digital transformation manager, operations or business analytics manager, and product roles that sit between technical teams and leadership.
AGTU (American Global Tech University) is licensed by the Florida Department of Education, Commission for Independent Education, and accredited by ASIC in the United Kingdom. Your completion documents read the same whether you studied from Lima or from Lagos.
A through F, not pass/fail. This matters if you plan to pursue a doctorate or claim tuition reimbursement from your employer: several online universities issue only pass/fail grades, and that can quietly close both doors.
A full competency of two subjects, with a tutor assigned to you and a certificate of hours at the end. The $48 enrollment fee is waived. And when you continue, those hours count as up to six credits toward your program, so your work carries forward instead of starting over.
Start any day, with no intake dates. Finish in about 6, 9, or 12 months for the same total price, paid as a first payment plus 18 monthly payments. Students in more than 21 countries are already enrolled.
The Free Competency Program gives you the first two courses of the degree at no cost, with a tutor and a certificate you keep. If you continue, they count toward your degree and the $48 enrollment fee is waived.
Every course in the Master in Business and AI is designed and taught by the professors below: experienced professionals, most with a PhD in their field, working to the academic standards set by our Provost.
Most free trials give you a sample video and a countdown timer. AGTU (American Global Tech University) gives you an entire competency of the Master in Business and AI, two full subjects, delivered exactly the way our degree students receive it. You enroll as a continuing-education student at AGTU (American Global Tech University).
The free competency costs nothing, in every sense. And when you decide to continue into the Master in Business and AI, the full program is published up front: the full figure and yours, with your country’s scholarship already applied.
The same faculty members teach in every country, whatever you pay.
Tuition, fees, and materials are in the price for your country. The only other charge is the $48 enrollment fee, and it is waived when you start through the free competency.
Each term is designed for six weeks and ends with a proctored assessment. Every course includes at least one edX course.

It’s really free. The Free Competency Program costs nothing: no automatic billing, no cancellation deadline, no hidden fees, and all materials are included. What we’re asking for is your time and attention, in the hope that the experience convinces you to enroll in the full degree. If it doesn’t, you owe us nothing and you keep your certificate.
Yes. A short admission test confirms basic proficiency in the language you choose to study in: English, Portuguese, or Spanish. It is straightforward, it is taken online, and it is the only test required to begin the free competency program.
Not for the free competency program. Formal admission requirements, including academic documentation, apply when you enroll in a degree program.
No. The free competency, like the full degree, is 100% online with recorded lectures, so you study on your own schedule from any time zone. You’re still supported throughout by your tutor and the forum. Some degree programs include live components; those are described on each program page.
The free competency program has a defined study period, shown when you register. If you need more time, your tutor can discuss options with you.
No. You start as an AGTU (American Global Tech University) continuing-education student. Enrollment in a formal degree program happens only when you decide to continue and complete the admission process. This keeps your record clean and your decision genuinely open.
No. The program is delivered entirely online, so there is no visa, no relocation, and no resignation letter. You study from where you already live, around the job you already have, and the credential you receive is the same American degree.
The credit recognition described on this page, up to six credits, applies to AGTU (American Global Tech University) programs under AGTU’s internal policy. Your certificate documents genuine completed hours, but other institutions set their own transfer rules. We can’t promise what a third party will accept.
It makes it shorter, not cheaper. The published tuition for your category still applies. The benefit is that you’ve already completed part of the program and have credit for it.
No. It’s applied automatically when you’re admitted, based on your country of residence.
There are no artificial speed limits. Many motivated learners finish in half the traditional time.
Yes: letter grades from A to F, with a full GPA.
Yes. Flexible payment plans are available for each term.
