The business landscape is evolving rapidly, and professionals need more than general knowledge to move into management — they need the right skills in the right areas, built on a foundation that accounts for what they already know. The D'Amore-McKim Online MS in Management was designed for that. 

The OMSM is built around four core business domains: Managing Organizations, Data-Driven Management, Strategy and Growth, and Finance and Operations. Within each domain, you select one course based on your existing experience level — from foundational to advanced — so the curriculum builds on your background rather than ignoring it. From there, you choose one of five concentrations to develop real depth in the area most relevant to your career. 

Depending on your background, experience, and goals, you can choose from five concentrations: 

  • Artificial Intelligence: Apply AI and machine learning concepts to business strategy and organizational decision-making. Designed for professionals who want to lead in an increasingly AI-driven business environment. 
  • Business Analytics: Build the data fluency to drive smarter decisions across functions. Covers analytical methods, data interpretation, and the application of insights in a business context. 
  • Corporate Finance: Develop expertise in financial analysis, capital allocation, and investment decision-making. Designed for professionals moving into finance-focused roles or building financial acumen alongside other business skills. 
  • Corporate Innovation: Build the organizational capacity to lead change and drive growth. Covers innovation strategy, entrepreneurial thinking, and the management of new initiatives within established organizations. 
  • Leading People and Organizations: Develop the management and leadership skills to build, direct, and develop high-performing teams. Designed for professionals moving into people management or looking to strengthen their leadership foundation.
