D’Amore-McKim’s Master of Science in Management program is designed to ensure students gain the business knowledge and skills they need to thrive in today’s digitally driven landscape. The curriculum is designed to teach students how to think, not what to think, as they build the business expertise that employers value.
A Flexible Core Curriculum
Students take one course in each of these four key domains: managing organizations, data-driven management, strategy and growth, and finance and operations. Students without a background in these areas have an opportunity to build foundational skills, and those with experience may select higher-level courses that are designed to expand their knowledge.
Customize Your Curriculum
Students personalize their program to match their interests and career opportunities by choosing from over 65 electives taught by D’Amore-McKim’s industry-leading faculty.
Gain Diverse Perspectives
Students may take one course at another Northeastern University graduate school. This is an opportunity to gain diverse perspectives by pursuing an interdisciplinary course complementary to their goals.
Experience-Powered Learning
Students will have opportunities to obtain real-world experiences that help them gain fresh perspective while using relevant skills. Students can help grow an idea into a startup business with Northeastern’s student-run venture accelerator or join a small team tasked with solving a business challenge with one of our corporate partners.
This 30-semester-hour master’s degree is offered for full-time, part-time, and online study.
