The Master of Science in Management (MSM) is a 33-credit program that is built on the emerging field of the development of organizations. Students explore in depth the functions of management while focusing on the use of effective leadership skills to achieve organizational objectives. Dealing with individual and group behavior within an organization, the core curriculum emphasizes the use of management and leadership skills to increase productivity and quality while supporting organizational growth and change. A major component of the MSM program is the application of ethical decision making and the exploration of the social responsibilities that students may encounter as managers. Each MSM cohort plans, completes and reflects on a Community Service Project during its first course.
Accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), whose standards are based on the Baldridge National Quality Program criteria, the program teaches students to use accounting and financial reports as well as information technology to manage effectively and efficiently. Applied case studies enable students to think critically and creatively about implementing management strategies in an ever-changing environment. Individual and team projects engage students in problem-solving and decision making while developing innovative solutions to intrapreneurial opportunities for competitive advantage and organizational success. In the final course, students integrate concepts learned throughout the MSM program and apply analytical techniques to address the challenges and opportunities faced by organizations in an environment of constant change.
Students who graduate from the MSM program are well positioned to lead and support an organization's vision for growth, change and increased competitive advantage.
