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

The specializations include: business strategy, change and innovation, enterprise technology management, entrepreneurship and innovation, global management, leadership, managing human resources, managing for sustainability, sports and entertainment business and strategic management.  These specializations will help students master the tools and knowledge to be successful in each focused competency.
