Hobart and William Smith Colleges

SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED

Through our one-year program, students develop the skills needed to design solutions and implement strategic plans of action that solve local and global challenges.

The Master of Science in Management can be earned in either an innovative 3+1 model (students complete a bachelor’s and master’s in four years) or the more traditional 4+1 (4-year undergrad program followed by a 1-year master’s). Ambitious students can complete both the bachelor’s and the master’s in as few as four years.

The Master of Science in Management and the Advanced Certificate in Management are open to all students regardless of major as an undergraduate.

THE FUTURE OF WORK IS COMPLEX AND CONSTANTLY IN FLUX. YOU’LL DEFINE AND DRIVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

A master’s degree in management develops the tools you need to navigate changes in tomorrow’s landscape and steer the long-term future of industry, philanthropy, social organizations and government.

Through internships and networking, individualized faculty mentorship and a capstone project that can be shared with prospective employers, you will develop a clear vision for your management skills and graduate ready to make an immediate impact in the industry of your choice.
