We have designed the MSA program to develop ‘T’ shaped professionals. A ‘T-Shaped’ professional has a breadth of knowledge to work across many units within an organization, but also the depth of knowledge in one content area to be considered an expert in that field The core courses support the ‘T-top’ and focus on organizational change, working with diverse generations and populations, strategic management, and finance. Students can choose from 10 different areas of concentration. The concentration courses support the ‘T-stem’ and range widely across different sectors of the economy like engineering management, digital leadership, health services, human resources, leadership, project management, and philanthropy and nonprofit.
