MS in Management (MSM)

Now accepting applications for August 2012 entry!

The Master of Science in Management program at the SMU Cox School of Business is a powerful choice if you want advanced business training without the commitment of a full-  or part-time MBA program.

The Master of Science in Management program is ideal if you’re:

  • A technical specialist in a field like telecommunications, aerospace and defense, or IT services, who needs stronger budgeting, management, financial and strategic planning skills to advance in your discipline.
  • A professional with a non-business undergraduate degree who needs to speak the basic language of business to advance your career.

The 30-hour MSM curriculum—taught by expert Cox faculty—gives you a fundamental understanding of business, as well as mastery of the core tools of budgeting, management, marketing, financial and strategic planning. Much of the coursework takes place in small study groups, where you work with colleagues to identify and solve problems that mirror real-world challenges. The practical skills and insights you gain go beyond theory to help you adapt immediately to the rapidly changing business landscape.

Our focused curriculum, outstanding business faculty, and unique services and resources make the Cox MSM an outstanding investment in your professional future. In one year, you’ll gain skills that set you apart from your peers and enhance your career performance.
