Master in Management Overview

Ethical Leadership for People, Planet, and Prosperity. The University of San Francisco’s part-time Master in Management (MIM) produces upstanding leaders who are committed to ethical decision-making and the common good in the service of people, planet, and prosperity. This innovative program centers on sustainable business solutions, exploring how leaders can harness technology and human ingenuity to transform the ways we do business. The online MIM curriculum blends flexible, self-paced coursework with live online evening sessions so that you can foster strong connections while fitting your education into your busy schedule. In our collaborative environment, you’ll learn from faculty with rich experience and engage with peers from a diverse range of industries and backgrounds.

MBA vs. Master’s in Management: Which Degree Is Right for You?

A Master of Business Administration (MBA) offers a comprehensive view of business strategy and operations, with a strong emphasis on practical experience. Most MBA programs look for applicants with several years of work experience, making the degree ideal for mid-career professionals looking to advance to senior leadership.

An MS in Management (MIM) is a shorter, more focused degree that emphasizes key business principles. The degree is suitable for professionals at all career stages, including those with limited work experience.

Students who will benefit the most from the MIM program are those with a predisposition for technological innovations, financial acumen, and a values-driven career orientation for sustainable and socially impactful solutions.

Become a Sustainability Expert To Make a Difference

In today’s business world, organizations that adopt sustainable practices reap significant rewards, from increased profitability to stronger community ties. USF’s MIM program — one of the few in California with a sustainability concentration — prepares future leaders to implement green practices and enhance organizational ethics across all industries.

As the demand for sustainability experts grows, the MIM program equips you with the tools to integrate technological innovation, financial acumen, and responsible leadership into your professional expertise. Prepare to drive both environmental stewardship and business success as you step into new roles and create lasting global change in areas such as climate change, resource management, and social equity.
