Managing to Mission

In Marlboro’s MBA and MS in Management programs, students cultivate the skills they need to be effective leaders while making ethical choices that produce lasting positive impact. Our students grow and evolve—both personally and professionally—in Marlboro’s heady, supportive, and collaborative environment, and go on to excel as enterprise or project leaders, entrepreneurs or consultants.

Concentrations

Building on core business coursework, students in both the MBA and MSM programs complete 14 credits working with expert faculty-practitioners within a focused concentration area. Most students also design their capstone project to build expertise in their area of concentration. Students choose from the following areas:

Mission-Driven Organizations

"I looked for a school that would teach me the skills needed to run a nonprofit program with a business mind set. I am amazed at how many aspects of my graduate school experience I have been able to apply to my work."

–Christine Hazzard MSM '13, Brattleboro Housing Authority

Collaborative Leadership

"The program was a perfect fit for me to further my skill sets and leadership capabilities so I can take what I have already learned to the next level. I had hoped for some skill training and what I have gotten is truly life training.”

–Jodi Clark MSM '14, Global Round Table Leadership

Social Innovation

"My Capstone Project gave me the confidence to take the leap and move forward with launching my own business. I entered the MBA program hoping to do exactly that, and I feel, with VT Dinners, I’ve found a business idea with real potential in a sector I love."

–Nathaniel Brooks MBA '15, Founder/Director VT Dinners
