Master of Science in Management
with a Concentration in Project Management
|
|
The Master of Science in Management degree focuses on the
practice of management in technical and non-technical
organizations and is grounded in a variety of analytic and
administrative skills drawn from the disciplines of economics,
organizational behavior, and quantitative methods.
Knowledge of these skills alone does not guarantee success as a
manager. Rather, it is the steady development of conceptual and
integrative skills, and the active blending of these basic areas
of knowledge that is necessary to identify organizational problems,
analyze them, synthesize solutions, and then implement the
decisions that signal the growth of professional competence. The
Master's degree is designed to enhance student development of
this knowledge and to prepare them to function
effectively in technical and non-technical management positions.
