The MS in Management Science catalog contains 16 areas of focus; however, not every elective course is available as an online course. For a fully online MS in Management Science degree, you would be limited to courses offered online only.
In most cases, the online courses will be offered in the semester’s listed Coursebook year after year. However, sometimes, the instructor who teaches a specific online course will be unavailable in a given semester. In those cases, you may have to pick another course if you are selecting an elective. If you are selecting a required course and trying to graduate that semester, please contact the program director to look at options.
Online courses may have prerecorded sessions that you can access from anywhere, anytime — including internationally.
Every course is different, but most courses have timed online exams, and some online courses require that the final exam be taken at a proctored exam center. Our testing center must approve the proctored exam center selected by a student; there are numerous national and international testing locations.
