Palm Springs Mini-MBA Course Focuses On AI

PALM DESERT, CA — Want to know more about AI but are afraid to ask? Small business owners and entrepreneurs interested in learning about artificial intelligence and other technologies to strengthen their business will have an opportunity to enroll in a free "mini MBA" course at Cal State San Bernardino's Palm Desert campus starting next week.

The sessions will be held from 9 a.m. until noon, Sept. 18 through Nov. 20, at the campus located at 37023 Cook Street in Palm Desert.

"Entrepreneurs today need the fundamentals of running and growing a business, but they also need to understand how technology is rapidly changing the way we compete," Ezekiel Bonillas, associate professor of entrepreneurship at CSUSB, said in a statement. "This mini MBA brings those worlds together. We want participants to leave with practical tools they can put to work immediately while becoming better prepared to navigate AI, technology and the challenges with growing a business."

The CSUSB Randall W. Lewis School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, in partnership with the Entrepreneurial Resource Center in Palm Desert, will offer the free 10-week program, which will also cover human resources, finances and "foundational thinking & sustainable success."
