School of Management

The School of Management (SMG), located at our Charles River Campus, 595 Commonwealth Avenue, offers undergraduate, graduate, and executive programs designed to prepare leaders. To do this, the School's programs go beyond the development of basic administrative skills and functional competencies to foster an awareness and understanding of the interdependencies in organizations, and the ways technology transforms them and provides a competitive advantage. The School strives to provide students with a sensitivity to both the potential and the limitations of the management systems that control organizations.

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) program combines this approach to management training with continuing attention to the liberal arts. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree allows for more in-depth management study for both full- and part-time students, and includes specialized programs with concentrations in health sector management and public & nonprofit management. The MS•MBA degree is a dual MBA and Master of Science in Information Systems degree — two degrees earned in the School of Management in two academic years and the intervening summer.

Other graduate programs include a Master of Science in Investment Management (MSIM); an International Management Program - Asia Pacific (IMP); a Doctor of Business Administration Program (DBA); and several dual degree programs in conjunction with the Colleges of Communications, Engineering, Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Law, Social Work and Medicine. An Executive MBA Program and executive development programs such as the Leadership Institute, provide specially designed programs for experienced executives.
