Northeastern University D’Amore-McKim School of Business’ Master of Science in Management program enables students to gain the business knowledge and skills they need in today’s digitally driven economy. Students learn how to think, not what to think, as they build the business expertise that employers value.
Build Market-Aligned Core Business Knowledge
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 previous experience expand their knowledge in higher-level courses.
Personalize Your Degree
Students personalize their coursework to match their interests and professional goals. Students select an in-demand business concentration to focus their learning. In consultation with their advisor, students pick electives from the entire portfolio of graduate-level business courses taught by D’Amore-McKim’s industry-leading faculty. Or, they may choose to take one elective from a diverse list of eligible graduate courses offered from other Northeastern colleges.
Integrate Classroom and Professional Experiences
Students will have opportunities to obtain real-world experiences that help them gain a fresh perspective while using relevant skills. They apply their knowledge to actual business challenges through class projects.
Students may enroll in this 30-semester-hour master’s degree program for full-time and part-time study.
