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 encouraged 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.
