Most college graduates eventually will work in a business environment. Yet the undergraduate curriculum for non-business majors does not typically involve business courses or experiential learning. With a new 10-month master’s degree in business management, Miami will deliver to the non-business graduate essential skills, core business knowledge and hands-on, client-based experiential learning.
Areas of learning include:
Managerial skills
Analytical and strategic thinking
Data-driven decision making
Creative thinking
Business communication skills
Leadership
Effective teamwork and ethical thinking
All with a consistent focus on career development and networking skills.
The faculty envision this program as the launch pad for other professional master’s programs, dual-degree programs and graduate certificates that can benefit from a business core. For example, students interested in healthcare fields can be engaged in the health care sector during their capstone experience. Students completing a subset of courses in the business core of the program would earn the Certificate in Business Management.
