Overview
Management programs outside the MBA teach how to lead people and run organizations, usually for applicants with little or no work experience. Coursework covers strategy, organizational behavior, finance, marketing and operations, with specialized tracks such as innovation, international or project management.
A master's in management is usually a pre-experience degree, and specialized tracks add depth in areas such as innovation or supply chains. A PhD in management leads to research and faculty careers in strategy, organizational behavior and entrepreneurship.
Graduates start in consulting, graduate trainee schemes, business development, operations and project management, and some join or found start-ups. Consulting firms and multinational companies recruit actively from these programs, particularly in Europe, where the degree is a well-established route into business.
Most Business & Management programs charge between $21,000 and $65,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $34,000 and $149,000.
