Whether you’re preparing to move into management, change careers, or strengthen the skills you already use at work, Wilmington University’s M.S. in Management offers a practical way to grow as a leader.

Built around a shared management core with six customizable pathways, it also gives working professionals the flexibility to focus their studies on the areas most relevant to their goals.

One Degree With Six Pathways

Every student completes a management core focused on leadership, organizational effectiveness, and strategic decision-making before choosing one of six pathways: Applied Artificial Intelligence, Human Resource Management, Organizational Leadership, Product Innovation, Supply Chain and Operations, or Traditional (No Concentration). This combination gives students a broad foundation in management while allowing them to develop deeper knowledge in an area that reflects their interests and career goals.

Practical Skills for Today’s Marketplace

Through hands-on projects and real-world scenarios, students learn how to bring people, processes, and technology together to address workplace challenges. Coursework examines ways emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, can support decision-making and organizational performance.

How the M.S. in Management Differs From an MBA

Both the MBA and the M.S. in Management are valuable business degrees, but they are designed for different professional goals.  The MBA provides broad, cross-functional business education with emphasis on finance, strategy, and marketing. The M.S. in Management focuses more closely on the practice of management, including leading teams, improving functions, and navigating organizational change.

The M.S. in Management provides focused education in the practice of management, with emphasis on leading teams, improving functions, and navigating organizational change. The M.S. in Management may appeal to students who want to:

The classes in WilmU’s M.S. in Management program are very applicable to my current position as a business manager for my family’s business.
