Program Description

The Master of Science in Management provides professionals with a solid foundation to move their careers to the next level. This program includes topics in decision sciences, information systems, accounting, marketing, and leadership. Students then choose to dig deeper into either supply chain management or organizational management. Either concentration prepares students for leadership roles in for-profit businesses, non-profit organizations, and governmental agencies.

MGA's Master of Science in Management is the most affordable masters degree in business in Georgia. Simplified admissions requirements take into consideration GPA and work experience and in many cases do not require students to take the GMAT. Students without an undergraduate degree in business will take four courses to prepare them for the program.

The Master of Science in Management program is offered fully online in 8-week sessions; two in the fall and spring semesters and one in the summer semester. This online, 8-week format allows students to focus on one topic at a time while continuing their careers.
