MSM vs. MBA

Effective communications, team building, and problem solving abilities are some of the most important skills you can acquire as a leader. Talented managers not only understand what’s best for their business, but also have a strong understanding of how to maximize the performance of their team. UIndy’s MSM program focuses on building these critical skills.

In contrast, UIndy’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program places a greater emphasis on business practices, processes and analysis. The curriculum is practical and consists of a broad range of disciplines, including accounting, finance, marketing, operations management, and data analytics . The MBA Program focuses more on analytical and data-driven subjects, and spends less time on the interpersonal aspects of business.
