The MS management program prepares students for significant managerial responsibilities in the private and public sectors.

The specializations include: business strategy, change and innovation, communications management, enterprise technology management, entrepreneurship and innovation, human resources management, global management, leadership, strategic management, managing for sustainability, quantitative decision methods and sports and entertainment management.
