Master of Management

The Master of Management (MM) provides a professional course of study designed to prepare graduates with applied knowledge focused in business.

The Master of Management is a general management program with two offerings:

  1. A 9-month program requiring a bachelor’s degree in an area other than business prior to entering the program.
  2. A 6-month program combining an undergraduate degree with the Master of Management. Please see the Undergraduate Program-Master of Management Dual Degree Option entry for details.

Admission Requirements for 9-month program

Admission requirements for the Master of Management Dual Degree option can be found in the UG-MM Dual Degree Option entry.
