The 36-credit, 74-week Master of Science in Management program (MSM) is designed to provide the fundamental business skills in management, marketing and finance needed to achieve organizational imperatives in an ethical manner. Graduates are prepared for leadership roles and possess effective oral and written communication skills as well as the interpersonal skills required of an effective leader. Coursework develops appropriate problem-solving skills involving the correct use of inference and deduction, assumption recognition, evidence interpretation, and argument evaluation.
In order to be admitted into the MSM program, students must
provide documentation of the following:

This admission requirement is met by students who have earned a 2.7 grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale in undergraduate course work at the institution from which they received their baccalaureate degree. Students with less than a 2.7 GPA are welcome to apply, but must also submit an application essay indicating why they believe they are academically prepared to enter this program.

Students not meeting the above requirements may be considered for admission on a probationary basis. If admitted to the program, the student must attain a grade of "B" or better during the first two courses in order to remain in the program.
