Program Information
The Master of Science degree in Operations Management (MSOM) is a program for professionals interested in expanding their ability to manage technical functions in an organization as the next logical step in their career path.
Students may elect to pursue the traditional thesis option: this is valuable for individuals who anticipate future graduate work toward achieving the terminal degree in a related field. A non-thesis option provides more coursework in lieu of the research component. Students will have the opportunity to tailor their plan of study toward their career interests selecting 12 elective credits in the non-thesis option.
Regardless of the option selected, the student works with his/her Major Advisor to develop the program of study plan, make consistent progress toward completion of the degree, and to show proficiency in integrating and applying management concepts through the Final Oral Exam.
Course Delivery Format
Program coursework is delivered on campus, with some coursework offered online. There is also a fully online option available for remote students.
