MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MANAGEMENT
CURRICULUM
1. Core Courses.
From Fall 2007 onwards the core courses provide a management base upon which students can build a variety of specializations within the degree Program.
These courses provide intensive introductions to the several disciplines required of professional managers students who have taken these courses elsewhere or previously at Polytechnic, or who have had equivalent experience, may substitute elective courses for such core courses.
However, all students are required to complete 36 credits (12 courses).
Core courses should be taken as early in the program as possible.
The core is comprised of 6 Classes at 3 Credits each:
18 Credits
Core courses for the 36 credit MSM are as follows:
2. Areas of Concentration.
Completing a concentration of study requires 15 credits of class work. Each concentration generally requires the completion of two specified 3-credit courses. The remaining 9 credits consist of courses of interest [1]. Please note that this structure allows students flexibility to custom create their own educational experiences to the fullest degree possible while maintaining educational excellence.
Each concentration sequence consists of a minimum of four courses. Students who take more than the minimum number of required courses may count additional courses as free electives. Substitutions may be made with adviser’s approval inany concentration area.
[1] In all places where “courses of interest” appears the reader should assume that students may choose classes with prefixes of “MG”, “OB,” or “FE” (excluding executive format-format classes in Manhattan and perhaps elsewhere). In some cases, and only with the advisor’s written approval, some of these credits may be from other graduate programs.
3. Free Electives.
None (However, within a concentration there is now generally wide choice)
4. Project in Strategy and Innovation (MG9703).
This course is a required integrating course. It is recommended for students' final semester. In special cases, MG 9973, Thesis for Degree of Master of Science, may be substituted for students who wish to produce a major Master's thesis on a special topic.
