Overview - Master of Science in Management (MSM)
The program is defined by a pragmatic, results-oriented approach emphasizing the integration of people and technology, which we achieve through courses designed to help you develop decision-making skills. Even subjects such as accounting, finance, and marketing are taught not as special areas of expertise, but as basic tools for managerial decision-making in a tech-heavy, knowledge-based workplace. By the program’s end, you’ll be able to allocate and direct human, financial, and physical resources, as well as technological and organizational assets, for maximum performance.
You'll build on such core competencies by focusing on one of the following concentrations:
- Entrepreneurship
- Project Management
- Technology Management
- Human Resource Management
