Why Choose a Master’s of Management? 

When comparing a master’s in management vs. an MBA, it’s important to consider which aligns with your career goals and how much time you want to dedicate to your studies. 

Some master’s in management programs are specialized degrees that allow students to cultivate expertise in a specific field such as supply chain management or information systems; others, on the other hand, cover a variety of business topics that are applicable to many professional settings in which you would pursue leadership. 

Our Online Master of Management program is geared toward those with two or fewer years of experience in the field, such as individuals who recently completed their undergraduate degrees, or individuals who are planning to change careers. MBA programs are more useful for mid-career professionals with an eye on senior leadership roles within their organization.

Another difference between a master’s in management and an MBA program is length. The master’s in management has fewer courses and takes less time to complete, allowing you to kick-start your career more quickly.
