Isenberg is continuing its path of innovation to help students and professionals reach their academic and career goals with the launch this fall of the new Master of Science in Management (MSM) degree.
This 30-credit, fully online program (with some in-person options) is designed to meet the growing demand for skilled business leaders in today's dynamic and competitive business environment, said Nikunj Kapadia, PhD, associate dean of graduate programs at Isenberg.
“This is a great new degree for students who may have little or no previous business experience,” said Kapadia. “This differs from Isenberg’s top-ranked MBA program, which is intended for experienced professionals who already have several years of work experience,” he said.
The MSM curriculum emphasizes real-world application and essential management competencies, including leadership and organizational behavior, marketing strategy, data-driven decision-making, project management, and professional development. Students complement this core business foundation with electives and a focused concentration, gaining both breadth and depth in areas that align with their career goals. The concentration options—in project management, human resource management, and arts administration—offer students the opportunity to dive deeper into a specialized, career-focused area of business.
“Whether you are an undergraduate pursuing an accelerated 4+1 pathway or a young professional seeking to advance your career, the MSM delivers the practical knowledge and credentials needed to succeed in today’s evolving workplace,” said Kapadia.
