Are you a recent graduate or working professional looking to break into a field where you would benefit from having a business background, but you studied something else in college? If so, the Fairfield Dolan Master of Science in Management (MSM) is designed for you. We polled several students about to graduate from the program’s first cohort and here are the top 5 reasons to apply today.
1. No Business Degree is Necessary
The MSM program is designed for non-business majors and focuses on the skills and knowledge of essential business practices. Students come from backgrounds in Art History and English, Chemistry and Physics, Communication and Psychology, Engineering and Economics, and more.
2. The Degree is Fully Online
This 30-credit program can be completed online in one year so you can keep working and have ultimate flexibility.
3. You May Be Surprised by the Topics that Stick with You
One student shared how she learned the importance of workplace culture and how it can affect the success of an organization, a lesson that influenced her to reflect on what matters most when it comes to considering a job. In addition to core business skills students learn about other key subjects including leadership, professional development, and entrepreneurship.
4. You Can Grow Your Entrepreneurial Skills
In the Capstone Entrepreneurship Course students work in teams to develop a new business concept, conduct competitive market analyses, forecast sales and net revenues, and plan a go-to-market strategy. If you love the entrepreneurial-themed reality show, Shark Tank, this one’s for you!
