New Degree is the First Offered Entirely Online From the World-Renowned Eli Broad College of Business
TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Now business professionals can gain the leadership skills they need to move ahead in their careers and drive their organizations to success with the new Master of Science in Management, Strategy and Leadership from Michigan State University. Available exclusively online through MSU's Eli Broad College of Business, this newly designed degree teaches students how to become transformational leaders – from motivating individuals and mobilizing teams to making strategic decisions and implementing long-term plans. Enrollment begins October 1, 2013 and classes start January 6, 2014.
"Our internationally recognized faculty has designed this program to help students become more effective communicators, managers, leaders and decision-makers," said Dr. Robert Wiseman, the Eli Broad Legacy Fellow of Management. "Unlike an MBA, which focuses on core disciplines such as accounting, marketing, finance and operations, this degree hones in on the knowledge and skills necessary to lead and motivate people, improve a company's competitive position, and create and execute organizational change."
