Program Description

The MSc in Management is a rigorous program that is intended to position students for admission to top Ph.D. programs or to give them a jump-start in a research-intensive career. This research-oriented program responds to an increasing demand from industry and government for researchers and consultants from various disciplines of business. The program is also designed to prepare students for graduate studies in business at the doctoral level.

The MSc program consists of research-focused coursework, research seminars, courses in research methodology, and a year-long thesis project working individually with a supervisor and committee of faculty members who are leading reseachers in their respective fields.

The MSc takes two years to complete and is offered on a full-time basis.

Admission Requirements

Successful completion of four year Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent, with an average of not less than B+ (78). A minimum Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) score in the 52nd percentile in verbal reasoning and 55th percentile in quantitative reasoning, or Graduate Record Examination (GRE) in the 60th percentile in verbal and quantitative reasoning, is required.

Where applicants have a primary language other than English or who have a degree from a university where the primary language of instruction was not English, a minimum Academic IELTS score of 7.0 or TOEFL IBT score of 100 or Pearson Test of English (Academic) score of 70 or equivalent is required.

While each of these general criteria is important, an applicant’s entire profile of academic and professional achievement will be evaluated. Strengths in one or more areas may compensate for weakness in another.

The Graduate Admissions Committee will review all applications and recommend admission for a limited number of candidates. Admission is subject to availability of core faculty supervision in the requested area of specialization.
