What Students Learn from Our M.S. in Management
"I double-majored in economics and psychology, but I lacked the foundational aspects of a business education. This program provides a bird’s eye view of business operations — offering a taste of everything and learning how the puzzle comes together. I can now analyze a business's financial statements and extrapolate what’s important to stakeholders. I'm able to communicate intelligently with different departments or clients and make a positive impact."
