Overview

The Master of Science in Management (MiM) program at Miami Herbert Business School is a graduate degree designed for early-career students and recent graduates seeking foundational business education and accelerated entry into professional roles. The program targets individuals with limited or no full-time work experience, particularly those with non-business undergraduate backgrounds, and provides them with broad-based managerial, analytical, and leadership skills.

Delivered in a hybrid format that combines in-person, hybrid, and selected online courses, the MiM leverages Miami Herbert’s strengths in leadership, digital transformation, and global business. The curriculum integrates academic rigor with applied learning, career preparation, and exposure to Miami’s dynamic entrepreneurial and global business ecosystem. The program is distinct from the MBA in both audience and structure, positioning graduates for immediate workforce readiness or future advanced study in business disciplines.
