Organizations grow, thrive, and evolve with strategic management and effective leadership—individuals become teams, and projects become sought-after products, services, and information. Norwich University's online Master of Science in Management (MSM) helps students develop strategic management and leadership skills. This program is for any stage of your career and anyone looking to achieve a broad and deep education in strategic management, communications, resource management, and organizational behavior.

This program will give you the advantage you need in your career by providing you with the skills businesses and organizations need today.

An applied degree with a solid theoretical foundation, the Norwich MSM helps recent undergraduates, career-changers, or military transitioning to the private sector find their niche in today's globalized and technology-driven industries. Students learn to use high-level critical thinking, research, and analysis skills to address real-world managerial situations they are likely to encounter as a manager. Even before graduation, you will learn to apply and model ethical decision-making, effective leadership, and manage resources in your workplace.

Core Curriculum

The flexible online M.S. in Managment from Norwich University includes many avenues to explore within 11 relevant concentrations. Our program is designed to provide students with strategic management and leadership skills across a wide variety of key business and organizational needs for today's workplace. Here are three of the possible courses students will take on their journey: 
 
OL510 -- Leadership Fundamentals
This course focuses on differentiating the conceptual and theoretical aspects and models of leadership and leadership studies in order for students to apply leadership skills and principles to their place of work. The fundamentals of leadership are taught within the context of present and past leaders with an emphasis on how to live out these fundamentals in an ethical manner.
 
GB511 -- Strategic Resources Management
This seminar focuses on strategic management of intangible assets of an organization: human capital, information capital, and organizational capital. Human motivation, workforce utilization, performance measurement, leadership, organizational culture and change, management information systems, knowledge management, and contingency planning are discussed.
 
OL561 -- Capstone Studies
This course in capstone studies provides students the opportunity to synthesize learning from all previous seminars and to apply the concepts and principles in two ways: the preparation of a written capstone project that offers a practical or theoretical solution to an organizational challenge or issue of contemporary importance and relevance to the work or career goals of each student; and a 1500 word paper suitable for publication in a professional journal. Students will be required to exhibit in-depth critical thinking, organizational analysis, and effective writing. Course assignments will maximize the exchange of student suggestions and comments on the various stages of the capstone project, to include but not limited to topic section, thesis, resources and supporting information.
 
Norwich’s online master’s courses are delivered over 11 weeks at a time, and the typical program completion time is 18 months.
