Professional Master of Science in Management

The Professional Master of Science in Management (PMSM) program provides an alternative to the MBA degree for students who desire specialized study and the development of a high level of professional proficiency in a functional area of business. The Professional Master of Science in Management (PMSM) offers 2 options: a Business Analytics Track and a Human Resources/Change Management Track. Both tracks are designed to allow the busy professional to work full-time while earning their degree. The PMSM/Human Resource Track prepares students to work in organizations in such areas as human resources, strategic planning, organizational effectiveness, and staffing and employee relations. The PMSM/Business Analytics Track prepares students to collect, manage, analyze, interpret and apply data to assist organizations in making better and more informed business decisions. The courses are intended to expose students to new methods, concepts, and tools that will enhance their business and leadership skills. Innovative teaching methodologies such as team-based projects, interdisciplinary case studies, simulations, debating-the-issues activities, and self-assessment exercises are used to enhance the learning experience.
