Master of Science in Management
SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED
Through our one-year program, students develop the skills needed to design solutions and implement strategic plans of action that solve local and global challenges.
The Master of Science in Management program offers two pathways for degree completion: the innovative 3+1 model, where students earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in just four years, and the traditional 4+1 option, consisting of a 4-year undergraduate program followed by a 1-year master's program.
Through internships and networking, individualized faculty mentorship and a capstone project that can be shared with prospective employers, you will develop a clear vision for your management skills and graduate ready to make an immediate impact in the industry of your choice.
close-knit classes allow for students and faculty to build relationships and grow.
