Master of Business Administration programs (MBA) typically require students to have an undergraduate degree from a business school and several years of work experience. MBA curriculums focus heavily on finance and economics. MSM programs are perfect for just about anyone – even those who don’t think of themselves as businesspeople. MSM students do not need business degrees or work experience. They might want to transition into entrepreneurship. That means they want their education to focus more on leadership skills, organizational behavior, and strategic management topics, rather than finance and economics. They will get exactly what they need in the MSM program that Keuka College offers.
