Management (MIM), MA

The Master of Arts in Management (MiM) is a professional degree offered primarily to recent bachelor-level graduates with limited business experience seeking exposure to high quality, accelerated, business curriculum.

Requirements for Graduation

The Master of Arts in Management (MiM) is a 12-month (full-time) or 24-month (part-time) cohort-based, online program with a required internship and heavy coverage of career development concepts.

The program requires 33 graduate credit hours, including a 260-hour professional internship. Students are required to achieve a 3.0 GPA to graduate from the program.

MiM Student Learning Outcomes

The faculty of the LSB have identified the following student learning outcomes for students completing the MiM curriculum. They address what students should know, be able to do, and value.

  • Demonstrate an ability to build, sustain, and expand a network of people via teambuilding, leadership, interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Integrate the critical thinking skills of a liberal arts background with a mastery of business fundamentals to make effective and ethical decision.
  • Apply managerial capabilities by demonstrating project management (project planning), budget management (financial, acct, econ), and information management skills (project planning/analytics)

Curriculum

Two components comprise the MiM curriculum:

  • The graduate core (29 required credit hours) offers an integrated framework on contemporary leadership perspectives and management practices.
  • The professional internship experience (4 credit hours) provides students with the opportunity to better understand an organization and its industry, while providing a chance to apply business skills garnered earlier in the MiM Program.

MiM Curriculum

The Butler MiM is offered as a cohort-based experience, allowing for extended group projects and the chance to “dig deeper” in peer interactions and engagement with the community. With an emphasis on quantitative and design thinking skills as anchoring experiences, courses will be heavy with casework, in-depth business problems, and cover unique combinations of topics. Specific courses and descriptions are listed below.
