SASKATOON — Applications are now open for the new Master of Science in Management (MSc Mgmt) that begins next year in the Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan (USask).
The program, one of a few of its kind in Canada, will begin in September 2025 with an expected program size of 30 participants.
Edwards School of Business is excited to announce the launch of the new Master of Science in Management program. Graduates of this two-year, thesis-based, graduate level program will be equipped to pursue a PhD or gain a competitive advantage in industry-based jobs that have a significant research component (business analysis, market research, financial analysis, consulting, etc.).
The new Master of Science in Management (MSc Mgmt) program is a combination of the existing Master of Science in Finance (MSc Fin) and Master of Science in Marketing (MSc Mkt) programs plus the addition of Management as an all-encompassing specialization. This will allow students to pursue business research based on their interests, whether that’s Entrepreneurship, Strategic Management & Innovation, Human Resources, Organizational Studies & Leadership, Operations Management & Information Systems, Marketing & Advertising, Finance or Accounting.
“The Master of Science in Management combines a passion for research with various business disciplines,” said Dr. Monica M. Sârghie (MBA, PhD), Co-Chair Graduate Programs, Edwards School of Business. “The result is a more flexible program management structure and increased options for incoming students. Students will gain in-demand skills ranging from analytical skills, creative and critical thinking and complex problem-solving abilities, deep discipline knowledge and teamwork skills.”
“The program aligns with the Edwards School’s strategic goal of advancing impactful research and knowledge creation,” said Dr. Marjorie Delbaere (PhD), Acting Dean, Edwards School of Business. “Through an expanded MSc in Management program, we will be able to work toward our objective of increasing our research intensity at Edwards and strengthening our research reputation as well as increasing collaboration and partnerships with other disciplines and industries.”
