Specific or general studies: The MBA and MSM programs both offer emphases that focus on specific business sectors. The MBA also allows a student to customize the program, selecting electives from certain categories.

Admission: Graduate admission decisions are made on the basis of several variables and an interview with the dean of graduate studies or the dean's representative. An applicant for the MSM program will typically have experience or previous training in the area of emphasis.
