Programs of Study

The School of Management’s dynamic master’s degree programs answer the challenges facing today’s business leaders while its faculty members, who maintain strong ties to the Dallas-Fort Worth high-tech economy, provide perspective on issues being discussed in today’s conference rooms. With a strong academic grounding and after many classroom debates, graduates of the University of Texas at Dallas are ready to tackle the uncertainties swirling in today’s corporate settings.

The University of Texas at Dallas’ School of Management prides itself in its vigorous analytical approach and its strong core curriculum. Area and international businesses–from multinationals to high-tech start-ups–find this rigorous curriculum prepares UT Dallas graduates for challenging economic times. That is one reason so many corporations serve in various partnering capacities with the School of Management. They provide everything from financial and research support to student mentors to classroom speakers.

Master of Science degrees in accounting and information management, finance, health-care management, information technology and management, management and administrative sciences, and supply chain management require 36 credit hours to complete. Each M.S. degree offers many areas of concentration, including electronic commerce, IT management, taxation, audit, and organizations and strategy.

The UT Dallas accounting and information management program prepares students for the CPA exam or other specializations, such as consulting, internal audit, and taxation. The internal audit program at UT Dallas is one of the top two nationally, and students are regularly hired by major accounting firms and global corporations upon completion. Enterprise management software is an area of expertise, and many School of Management courses use SAP application modules, responding to the changing market for talent in that area.

New in fall 2008 were the Master of Science program in finance and Master of Science program in supply chain management. Industry groups played a key role in developing the curriculum for both programs. Finance students select one of four concentrations–financial analysis, financial engineering, financial management, or financial risk management. The master’s program in supply chain management requires 12 hours of business core courses and 21 hours of specialized graduate courses. Students acquire not only fundamental knowledge of business management but also analytical decision-making skills as they work on projects with area companies.

The School of Management is one of the few campuses nationwide with a certified Project Management Program. Students interested in project management have several educational avenues open to them. After completing a 21-hour core curriculum, students earn a Project Management Institute Certificate. With an additional 18 hours of classwork, students attain a Master of Science with a project management concentration. With a total of 53 hours, students earn an M.B.A. with a concentration in project management. The course work can be taken either online or on campus, and students typically have solid experience in project management. PM Network magazine listed the UT Dallas program as one of the “Best Bets” worldwide for project managers seeking graduate and continuing education.
