As lead editor Carrie Sealey-Morris explains, "The Master's in Management degree is designed to close the gap between a non-business bachelor's and a business master's for working adults who are in, or want to pursue, careers in management. As a new degree, the field is still somewhat in flux, and not fully defined. This can make it hard to tell if a school's offerings are legitimate and worth the investment. That's where this ranking can help."
