Master of Science in Management
30 Credits
The Chancellors’ Master of Science in Management teaches you the knowledge and skills you need to be a successful manager: communication, team building, conflict resolution, and negotiation. You'll find it particularly appropriate if you have not taken management courses in the past but now manage, or plan to manage, a team.
There are no quantitative courses in this program. Rather, you study leadership, teams, change management, and ethics; and you gain next-level skills in critical thinking and performance improvement.
You can also tailor your degree to your professional interests by choosing one of two tracks:
- Human resources
- General management
This program is part of the School of Business & Economics.
