MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MANAGEMENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
This technology Program is aimed at developing expertise in planning and decision-making and in the selection, allocation and direction of human, financial, physical, technological, and organizational resources in the areas of technology, innovation and information management.
The Master of Science in Management degree (MSM) is recognized, along with the Master of Business Administration (MBA), by the Graduate Management Admission Council as a graduate professional management degree. Polytechnic's MSM is designed to prepare working professionals for increasing responsibility in management positions.
Because many Polytechnic students are working professionals, engineers, or scientists with managerial responsibility, class schedules are geared to their needs and are typically offered after regular office hours. Small classes (averaging 15 or fewer students) enable participants to receive individual attention and to work closely with faculty. The course of study is designed for those who work in technology intensive industries and in companies that depend on technology for products and services.
Polytechnic's Graduate Program in Management takes a pragmatic, results-oriented approach that emphasizes management of technology and people, production management and strategic planning to achieve long term productivity and profitability. Traditional subjects such as accounting, economics, finance, and marketing are taught, not as special areas of expertise, but as basic tools for managerial decision - making in a technology - intensive environment. After completing the core courses, degree candidates build further managerial skills in their choice of eight concentrations.
The Program concludes with a course in Strategic Management which integrates the functional disciplines studied throughout the Program. Through case studies the students acquire an understanding of top management's perspective; how organizations set goals, establish policies, and implement strategies to gain competitive advantage.
