Compare the MSM and the MBA


Globe University/Minnesota School of Business offers two graduate programs for managers. This discussion briefly outlines distinctions between the following.

Call 877-655-7676 or contact admissions to discuss the programs with a representative.

Program contrasts

  • Specific or general studies: A large share of the MSM student’s studies are industry-specific, directly related to an area in which the student has been working—IT, health care management or operations management. The MBA program, meanwhile, is general and provides business management skills that can be applied in any organization or entrepreneurial venture.
  • Admission: Graduate admission decisions are made on the basis of several variables and an interview with the program dean. An applicant eligible for the MSM program will have a bachelor’s degree and professional experience in the area of emphasis. The MBA program has no specific experience requirement, and an applicant may have a bachelor’s degree in any area of study.
