The Curriculum
The Massey School curriculum provides challenging, practical and flexible graduate business education for working professionals. With an average class size of less than 20 students, Massey classes incorporates a variety of teaching methods including lectures, case studies, individual inquiry, written reports, oral presentations and interactive computer simulations. These intellectual exercises are designed to stimulate critical thinking and creative problem-solving while encouraging strong communication skills and a solid framework for ethical business decision-making. Our emphasis on understanding group dynamics will develop your ability to think and work in collaboration with others and build your leadership capabilities. Also threaded through the curriculum are the themes of entrepreneurship, values-based leadership and ethical decision-making.
Our Center for Entrepreneurship and Center for Business and Professional Ethics, as well as our International Programs, all help shape the curriculum, serving as resources for faculty who seek to incorporate these qualities into their teaching. The centers' contributions extend beyond the school by providing outreach to area organizations also seeking to weave these characteristics in their collective fabric.
