Welcome to your next adventure.

The Master in Management Program is for recent college graduates in the liberal arts or STEM fields who are ambitious, curious, and looking to kick-start their professional career.

The Master in Management Program is for recent college graduates who were non-business focused and are interested in exploring business.

For the 2024/2025 admissions cycle, college graduates with a non-business major, who will have finished their undergraduate degree between September 2023 and August 2025, are eligible to apply. Those who completed their undergraduate degree prior to September 2023 are not eligible for the Master in Management Program and should explore our MBA Programs.
