MS, PhD
The graduate programs in Management (MS, PhD) prepare students for leadership positions in industry by focusing on the management of operations. Students come from a variety of academic backgrounds. These programs build on the educational background of undergraduate business majors by providing an important focus toward operations, the part of the organization where most assets and people are employed. For individuals with a technical undergraduate degree, the programs complement their mathematics, engineering, and basic sciences coursework by developing an integrated view of operations management.
The program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and has received a special commendation for excellence from the South Carolina Commission for Higher Education. The MS in Management program focuses on the capabilities and resources of operations and its role in the formulation and implementation of organization strategies for both manufacturing and service industries in a global economy. The PhD program in Management provides advanced education for students of outstanding ability who are pursuing careers in university research and teaching, business, or government.
