This 30-credit program was designed to help you advance your careers or move into a management position. The Master’s in Management provides a management core with the general knowledge needed to manage technical and specialized units inside today’s companies. The degree integrates fundamental business knowledge with applications of technology for strategic business and technology operations. The program is built upon four themes:
transition to a knowledge-based economy;
emergence of the digital firm;
globalization of business; and
innovation as the primary source of competitive advantage
While this degree has many options, it is the Management of Technology track which is offered entirely online. And what distinguishes this program is its emphasis on teaching students how to manage technological systems. These days, managers need to not only manage employees; they must also master sophisticated information management systems and programs: NJIT leads the nation in that kind of instruction.

At some point in their careers, successful professionals are faced with the prospect of moving into managerial positions as the next logical step in their career progressions. The MSM program was designed to facilitate this transition. It is more focused than is our MBA curriculum through a stronger emphasis on mastery of a clearly defined specialization area.

The MSM is best suited for people with who wish to have more influence in their organizations by moving into managerial positions, but who also desire to retain their allegiance to an area of technical expertise, such as MIS.

The MSM program is delivered with special attention for people on the move. Students can complete the degree requirements in two years of part-time study or in one attending full-time. Courses are offered online, during the evenings, and on week-ends, to accommodate the schedules of working professionals.

Entry Requirements

To be considered for a master's program at NJIT, you must have completed a four-year undergraduate program accredited in the United States or its equivalent and demonstrate superior academic achievement in an appropriate discipline.

We look for students who placed in the top half of their graduating class and department, with a cumulative GPA no lower than 2.8 on a 4.0 scale.

The GMAT is required for all applicants to graduate programs within the School of Management.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is required for all international applicants not holding a degree from a United States post-secondary institution. The minimum score required is 79 for the Internet-based TOEFL exam, 213 for the computer-based TOEFL exam, or 550 for the paper-based TOEFL exam. A minimum score of 6.5 with no sub-score lower than 6.0 is required for the IELTS exam.
