Program Overview
|
|||||||||||||||||||
The School of Management (SOM) at The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) offers graduate programs that stress the theory and use of applied sciences for successful management and administration of private and public organizations. Graduate students can choose from eight SOM programs leading to the master's and doctor of philosophy degrees. Evening programs primarily serve employees of companies in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, while the full-time program serves national and international students. Three online learning programs are available for students who prefer the flexibility of online learning. The SOM also offers four executive education degree programs designed for working professionals.
A Master of Business Administration (MBA) program offers a broad managerial education drawing on all business disciplines. Students can choose from four paths toward the MBA. The part-time MBA features primarily evening classes to accommodate working professionals. The Cohort MBA program is a full-time MBA in which students are admitted as a group in the fall and take all of their required classes together in fixed sequence. Executive MBA classes meet on one Friday and two Saturdays each month for 21 months. The Global MBA Online program offers a full curriculum via the Internet. Each MBA program requires the completion of 29 hours of core courses and 24 hours of elective coursework, which may include optional concentrations in a selected area of business study. The Master of Arts in International Management Studies program offers knowledge and training in international management, a discipline that focuses on trade across national boundaries, management practices within foreign nations, and management on a global basis. Students learn the fundamentals of functional areas of management, international management, and the cultural, sociopolitical and geographical constraints that affect business decisions. Past programs have offered study abroad opportunities in Asia, Russia and India. The Master of Science in Accounting and Information Management program prepares graduates for responsible positions in the public accounting profession. Students can choose from seven related concentrations, including financial planning and analysis, assurance services, taxation services, international services, management consulting, software management and information management. Graduates who meet the educational requirements may sit for the Uniform CPA Examination. The Master of Science in Management and Administrative Services program offers a specialized education in a specific discipline built around a core of fundamental business courses. The program consists of 12 hours of business core courses, 15 hours of specified concentration courses and nine hours of elective courses. Concentrations are available in information technology management and consulting, telecommunications management, electronic commerce, supply chain management, innovation and entrepreneurship, and organizations and strategy. Classes are generally offered in the evening. The UTD School of Management also offers a Master of Science degree in Information Technology Management. The Master of Science in Medical Management program provides physicians and senior health care administrators with the business skills required to improve the leadership and management of health care organizations. This program is delivered jointly by UT Dallas and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. The program requires the completion of 36 credit hours, consisting of eight residential classes plus a self-directed field study. An MBA option is also available in the medical management program. Both SOM doctoral programs prepare candidates for academic and/or research positions in universities, with nonprofit research organizations and in private corporations in the US and elsewhere. The PhD is offered in International Management Studies and in Management Science. The school's four different executive education programs are an important part of the SOM's partnership with major local corporations. In addition, the SOM offers customized corporate MBA programs and professional development programs. | |||||||||||||||||||
