Zicklin's MS degree programs offer in-depth study in a range of areas. Unlike the broader MBA curriculum, students are often not required to do coursework in disciplines included in the MBA core. The MS is a more focused degree and usually requires fewer courses (generally between 10 and 16). MS degree programs are available in the Flex-Time format permitting students to study full or part time and to switch schedules as their needs require. Please consult the detailed information on each MS program since start dates vary.
