The Master of Science in Management Studies (MSMS) program at the Boston University Questrom School of Business is a one-year, full-time program designed to prepare recent college graduates for careers in business. The program is STEM-designated, making it eligible for a 24-month extension of Optional Practical Training (OPT) for international students.

The MSMS program at Boston Questrom is known for its innovative curriculum, which combines classroom learning with real-world experience. Students have the opportunity to work on consulting projects with real companies, and they also participate in a global immersion experience.

Every student undertakes a different, business-building project every eight weeks – four projects in total. Twenty-two leading companies have signed on as project partners for the 2023-2024 academic year. They include Zurich Financial, Boston Medical Center, Merrill Lynch, Marriott, Cargill, US Bank, Fisher Skis, Avery Dennison, Athletic Brewing, and more.

In each eight-week module, students rapidly achieve milestones in developing smart skills (e.g., teaming, communication, leadership), sharp skills (e.g., finance, strategy, or analytics), and career skills. Key milestones grow in complexity as students move from building business foundations in Module 1, incorporating customer-centricity in Module 2, accelerating organic growth in Module 3, and driving innovation in Module 4.

Questrom MiM graduates have a successful track record of landing the elusive roles that put young professionals on the path to rewarding careers. Our career support opens the doors to the fastest-growing, most desirable industries and roles in the Boston and U.S. job market so that students can launch themselves into the careers they most want to pursue.
