Students Speak: BU’s One Year MS in Management
Four students with non-business undergraduate degrees find success transitioning to business with BU Questrom’s MS in Management Studies program—in less than a year.
“With an MSMS degree, I have so much more to offer an employer. I not only have my healthcare background, I have a business background, too. And it gave me a better understanding of what people actually do in their careers. I got real-world insight into what is expected in the workplace.”
~Alvi Rahman, MSMS’16
With two skill sets to offer an employer, Alvi landed a healthcare consulting job immediately after graduation.

“I wanted more flexibility. With a business degree to complement my health science degree, there are so many possibilities.”
~Danielle Costas, MSMS’16
After studying health science as an undergrad, Danielle got the business skills she needed to jump into the role of an associate market analyst with a healthcare consulting group.
“Now I can prove that I can do technical roles as well as business analytics, communications, and consulting. I can receive a problem and propose a solution in a short amount of time.”
~Paulo Damoura, MSMS’16
The MSMS program helped Paulo see beyond his engineering framework. He now works as a technology integration specialist with a global software company.
“I was looking for real exposure to business. It’s really just getting a sense of what it’s like to work for a real company in practice. You get that insight into the actual challenges they face.”
~Alex Billias, MSMS’16
Realizing he had leadership ambitions, Alex wanted to shift from a science career to one in business. He got a job as an analyst at a boutique advisory firm even before he graduated.
