Description of Major

The program is designed for students with a bachelor’s degree in any field and offers fast-track terms that last just 8-weeks. Convenient online courses enable students to balance graduate studies with work and personal commitments, with an option to graduate in 12 or 24 months.

Through the Management program, students gain the business knowledge they need to succeed with exceptional business and leadership preparation for students with little or no business experience. Students attending full-time can complete the program in one year.

The MSM offers an opportunity to continue or pursue a career in fields such as entrepreneurship, healthcare management, healthcare system improvement, human resource management, international business, leadership, marketing, project management, risk management, strategies for sustainability, and technology management.

The Management program is offered completely online through the Ft. Campbell campus and admits for Ft. Campbell Spring 1, Summer 3 and Fall 1 terms.
