Although the core business courses ingrain exposure to the administrative sciences, the program is distinct from the MBA as the concentrations are STEM-focused. More importantly, the MSM program offers an intensive exposure to business applications focusing on interdisciplinary STEM-related areas.
Especially noteworthy is that the MSM program seeks to integrate fundamental business principles with technical knowledge and critical-thinking skills that leverage the university’s strengths in engineering, computing, architecture and social sciences to develop interdisciplinary skill-sets. Thus, the value-added propositions of the MSM degree are to help graduates become more specialized in STEM-focused cross-disciplinary fields.
