Accelerate Your Career

No matter the size of your budget or staff, you need to manage your money well, market your product effectively, make strategic decisions, and ensure the right people are motivated and supported to help achieve company goals. Perhaps most importantly, you need to be able to pivot and adapt based on new information and ever-changing market conditions.

Businesses run on people. They’re often a company’s biggest asset. With our hybrid class format, our Master of Science in Management is a people-focused business degree where you’ll learn coveted project management skills along with how to organize and motivate successful teams. It’s leadership that starts with you.

Think you already know how to manage others? Findings from the Wall Street Journal show most managers actually get it wrong: mismanaging authority and unilaterally wielding control.

Program Overview

The courses in this program are designed to give you a broad view of the key strategic functions at the heart of any organization so you can make better decisions and accelerate your growth as a leader. You’ll come away with a strong foundational understanding of general business strategies that you can apply to any work, whether starting your career, changing your current career, or even creating a new one.
