ValueColleges.com Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris discusses the advantages of the MSM over traditional MBA programs: "Almost all MBA programs require students to have at least a couple of years of professional work experience, but that can be hard to come by these days in a contracted job market. For those who lack work experience, or majored in something other than business, the Master's in Management is a useful alternative to maximize workers' competitiveness in the job market. And while great advances have been made in online education, many people still benefit from the connections with classmates, networking with the college's business partners, and the mentorship of a face-to-face program."
