Master of Science in Administration
In the last 50 years, tens of thousands of students have earned the MSA degree.
Our MSA degree is for professional administrators seeking to develop a broad range of trending management and leadership skills. Offered both on campus and online to over 1,000 students each year, this degree is interdisciplinary in nature and has been in existence since 1974.
Your time is valuable, so our program can be completed face-to-face, online, or through a hybrid format in many locations. We have you in mind by offering a great deal of flexibility with a variety of concentrations from which you can choose. In this interdisciplinary program, faculty are drawn from many departments.
The administrative core (about half of the course work) prepares you for administrative positions in a variety of organizational settings. You can tailor your concentration area (the other half of the degree) to what really interests you. Establish a professional network with accomplished peers, both full-time and part-time students, and seamlessly integrate your studies into your demanding schedule through our conveniently offered evening and weekend classes.
