Program Overview

Management, MA

The Master of Arts in Management is offered in three formats: online, hybrid, and accelerated.


Online Format

The online format features concentrations in Global Business Management and Human Resources Analytics, where all classes are offered online. This flexible program is designed for supervisors, administrators, coordinators, managers, military personnel, and others who seek to advance their awareness of the impact of evolving opportunities in the workplace or who have developed the need for more advanced management skills in their current positions.


Hybrid Format

The hybrid format features concentrations in Global Business Management, Human Resources Analytics, and Strategic Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Growth, where classes are offered either on campus or online (with some courses offered in both formats). The hybrid program is meant to combine on-campus as well as online coursework for residential students. This program prepares students for a variety of positions as managers, entrepreneurs, or human resource professionals.


Accelerated Format

The accelerated format is for talented undergraduate management majors allowing them to combine both undergraduate and graduate studies through double counting up to 12 hours of graduate course to both the graduate and undergraduate degrees.
