An MSM in Managerial Leadership


Every mid or large-size organization relies on operations managers to coordinate processes, helping the company reach corporate goals efficiently and effectively. Globe University/Minnesota School of Business (GU/MSB) offers a program that prepares team members and first-tier managers for advancement to mid and upper-level operations management positions—the Master of Science in Management (MSM) degree with an emphasis in Managerial Leadership (MSM:ML). This program is designed for the student who holds a bachelor’s degree and has a minimum of two years of experience in a specific area of operations or business administration.*

Credit for professional training, work experience and military training

A student may fulfill up to 50% of the Master of Science in Management program requirements through course-equivalent professional training, professional certifications, work experience or military training. There is no charge for evaluation of a student’s record or for credit granted. Since all students in the MSM: Managerial Leadership program have experience in specific areas of operations or project management, a high percentage receive some credit for that experience and related training.

MSM: A master’s degree for international students with business experience

The Master of Science in Management program is structured in a way that creates exceptional opportunity for the international student interested in training for advancement to a management position in a U.S. or international corporation:

  • International Student Services staff members assist international students from the time they inquire about the program through the course of their U.S. studies.
  • The MSM program admits new students every six weeks, flexibility that helps students waiting for visa approvals.
  • Students are expected to hold employment in their area of expertise throughout the course of the program. This curricular practicum component means that an international student may be eligible for a work authorization as early as the first quarter of classes in the U.S.
  • That employment helps defray the cost of a U.S. education, and provides valuable U.S. business experience on a resume.
