A Master of Business Administration (MBA) offers a comprehensive view of business strategy and operations, with a strong emphasis on practical experience. Most MBA programs look for applicants with several years of work experience, making the degree ideal for mid-career professionals looking to advance to senior leadership.
An MS in Management (MIM) is a shorter, more focused degree that emphasizes key business principles. The degree is suitable for professionals at all career stages, including those with limited work experience.
Students who will benefit the most from the MIM program are those with a predisposition for technological innovations, financial acumen, and a values-driven career orientation for sustainable and socially impactful solutions.
In today’s business world, organizations that adopt sustainable practices reap significant rewards, from increased profitability to stronger community ties. USF’s MIM program — one of the few in California with a sustainability concentration — prepares future leaders to implement green practices and enhance organizational ethics across all industries.
As the demand for sustainability experts grows, the MIM program equips you with the tools to integrate technological innovation, financial acumen, and responsible leadership into your professional expertise. Prepare to drive both environmental stewardship and business success as you step into new roles and create lasting global change in areas such as climate change, resource management, and social equity.
Our curriculum offers practical experiences with a range of organizations, from dynamic startups to established Fortune 500 companies. Through two project-based courses, students immerse themselves in real-world sustainability challenges.
