Learn to lead at the intersection of business and technology with a Master of Science in Management degree from WPI. Whether you are an early career professional seeking to enhance your undergraduate education, or an established specialist in your field, you will find that our program offers you the flexibility to tailor a course of study to your interests and career objectives. The program will prepare you to innovate products and services within technology-based enterprises, leveraging a solid and practical understanding of all major functional business areas, from financial management to complex group dynamics and organizational design.
Our curriculum draws from WPI’s strengths in science and engineering to bring innovations into the classroom and give graduates an edge in an increasingly technology-driven and globally competitive business world. While many students find the MS in Management degree gives them just the edge they need, you may also choose an alternative track that leads to an MBA (PDF). Both online and in the classroom, MS in Management and MBA students participate in integrated core classes that combine principles of finance, business law, economics, marketing, and management.
This program is designed for students who are looking for ultimate flexibility. MSMG students must complete at least four of the following required courses:
Students round out their program with electives to total ten courses for the degree, but no more than two electives outside of the Foisie Business School. For electives, refer to the Graduate Catalog.
Tuition is based on the current curriculum for the MS program which is 36 credits. The current price of tuition is $1,566 per credit making the total cost for the program $56,376 in tuition only.

I have done this in a variety of ways from experiential exercises to digital storytelling to classroom-as-organization designs.
