The program, offered through UW-Green Bay’s Austin E. Cofrin School of Business, prepares effective leaders and strategic decision-makers for the region’s businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
The program has two tracks – The first track, General Management, is well-suited for students desiring a well-rounded management education but does not require a prior business degree. The General Management track has a variety of electives students may choose from to customize their degree based on their professional and educational goals. The second track, Sports Management, is geared toward organizational management and leadership in athletics.
Students in the program are managers from a variety of organizations, both large and small, as well as individuals who wish to enter the management profession. This program provides students, with the knowledge and critical thinking skills needed to lead and succeed in complex and dynamic organizations. Students who have experienced success in the workplace find that additional education enhances their professional profile and affords new professional opportunities. The program develops leaders who will take on new management challenges and make a positive difference in their workplace and community.
Leadership, innovation, strategic thinking, sustainable stewardship, global thinking, and effective communication are the program’s cornerstones. Students experience an exciting array of courses in marketing strategy, data science and decision-making, leadership, managing sustainable and responsible organizations, and human resources practices. Critical thinking and problem-solving are emphasized through the program’s content and pedagogy, which incorporates both theoretical and applied approaches to developing the skills for life-long learning.
The Master of Science in Management is created with students’ needs in mind. Students have the convenience of small classes and the opportunity to work closely with dedicated faculty who will challenge students to perform at the highest levels. All instructors are experienced teachers with doctorate degrees or industry experts with decades of experience. They also have wide-ranging community involvement and professional and international experience.
Convenient scheduling is one of the program’s key features. Many graduate students work full-time and pursue their graduate studies on a part-time basis.
