Walsh

Master of Science in Management

The Walsh Master of Science in Management (MSM) is a deep dive into the critical aspects of organizational management. The program builds from a broad foundation, grounded in key elements of organizational behavior and operations, and offers two areas of concentration. The Human Resource Management (HR) concentration provides students with the critical knowledge necessary to manage an organization’s human capital and is delivered 100% online. The Strategic Management (SM) concentration explores the context and processes associated with organizational goal setting and operations and is delivered in our innovative hybrid format. Both concentrations allow graduates to take on the challenges that lie ahead in the dynamic world of organizational upper management.
