3 Specialized Accreditation The Sorrell College of Business MSM degree is accredited by the Association of Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) at all locations. ACBSP standards guide the program objectives and outcomes required for a quality MSM curriculum.
4 Master of Science in Management: Program Overview The purpose of the Master of Science in Management program is to provide a specialized professional program for the student who wants to acquire proficiency in management skills, including decision making, which will enable the graduate to carry out responsibilities in both general and specialized managerial roles. Concentrations offered to all students in the areas of Human Resource Management, Information Systems, Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness, International Management, International Hospitality Management and Healthcare Management further develop managerial problem-solving skills in specific areas of applied management as do two additional concentrations in Applied Management and Public Management offered to contractual cohort groups. As a result of successfully completing the MSM program, graduates should improve their ability to apply problem-solving skills to operational and strategic planning processes and to use written and verbal communication skills effectively to communicate the results of their problem-solving analyses and recommendations.
5 Short History The MSM degree was initially offered on U.S. military base locations both stateside and overseas in Designed originally to serve the needs of our servicemen and servicewomen seeking a graduate business degree with an orientation towards management, in the late 1980s this degree was also made available to the civilian market with myriad concentrations described below. At present the MSM is offered at the Montgomery campus, at stateside locations throughout Global Campus and through ecampus. During the AY approximately 30% of all Troy University graduate business students were enrolled in this degree

52 Assessment Committee MSM Discipline Coordinating Committee Dennis Self (Chair): Montgomery Rod Blackwell: Global Campus Southeast Region Richard Calderola: Global Campus Southeast Region Dianne Eppler: Global Campus Atlantic Region John Mankelwicz: Global Campus Southeast Region The committee has met on as needed basis via Blackboard to discuss issues related to the MSM. With the increased emphasis on assessment the committee will be meeting to discuss assessment results, and make recommendations regarding the results.
53 Plans for Further Improvement A recommendation has been made by the MSM DCC to the SCOB Graduate Committee to delete the following language: or selected pre-approved MPA courses (i.e., PA 6603, 6630, 6631, 6645, 6647, 6648, 6649, 6650) and an MSIR course, IR The MSM Program EO1 will be revised to reflect separate EOs to enable SCOB to measure the demonstration of the knowledge of business management, the theories of business management, the concepts of business management, the principles of business management, and the practices of business management. The MSM Program EO2 will be revised to reflect separate EOs to enable SCOB to measure student skills in using an open-system approach to include problem recognition, to measure student skills in problem analysis using conceptual and theoretical measures and diagnostics, to measure student skills in developing implementations of solutions, to measure student skills in planning, to measure student skills in preparing written documents, and to measure student skills in oral presentations. The MSM Program EO #3 will be revised to reflect separate EOs to measure students abilities to analyze strategies that support a selected management area, to measure students analytical decision-making skills in selecting strategies that support a selected management area, and demonstrate skills in preparing and presenting these strategies.
54 Plans for Further Improvement (Continued) The MSM Program EO4 will be revised to reflect separate EOs to measure students abilities to analyze and interpret management data, and to design management processes. The MSM Program EO3 will be revised to reflect separate EOs to measure students abilities to analyze strategies that support a selected management area, to measure students analytical decision-making skills in selecting strategies that support a selected management area, and demonstrate skills in preparing and presenting these strategies. The MSM Program EO4 will be revised to reflect separate EOs to measure students abilities to analyze and interpret management data, and to design management processes. To more strongly reflect the research component of the MSM degree, a new program EO5 will be added as follows: Students will demonstrate an ability to prepare a traditional research paper. The assessment measure: 80% of the MSM students will score 80 or higher on the research component of the research courses BUS6610 and MGT6627. A grading rubric for BUS6610 and MGT6627 will be developed for assessment purposes beginning academic year
55 Plans for Further Improvement (Continued) To improve the assessment outcomes on the ETS Major Field Test, the MSM DCC will perform the following tasks: Program and Course EOs in the MSM will be redesigned to assure full alignment. As certain of these courses are also used in other degree programs (MBA, MSHRM), the MSM DCC will coordinate with the MBA and MSHRM DCCs to assure that any changes are not sub-optimal. The MSM DCC, along with the MBA DCC, will extensively review subscore performance on the MFT- MBA. From these reviews, recommendations, by discipline and location, will be made in terms of the course content and assessments used in each course to better prepare students for the MFT-MBA. As appropriate, based on the above-described reviews, formative assessments for certain courses may be necessary. If so, these will be designed. To improve the assessment outcomes on the Capstone Exam, the MSM DCC will perform the following tasks: The Capstone Exam, itself, will be reexamined as to its fit with the current Course and Program EOs. Based on this reexamination, the Capstone Exam will be revised, as appropriate, to yield a better fit with the current Course and Program EOs. The MSM DCC, along with the MBA DCC, will analyze on-going results by program and location. From these reviews, recommendations, by discipline and location, will be made in terms of the course content and assessments used in each course to better prepare students for the Capstone Exam. As appropriate, based on the above-described reviews, formative assessments for certain courses may be necessary. If so, these will be designed. The MSM DCC will conduct a review of the EOs for each course taught in the MSM degree program to assure alignment with Program EOs. When appropriate, and in coordination with the MBA and MSHRM DCCs, Program EOs, Course EOs, or both will be modified to bring them into alignment with each other.
56 How Do Program Changes Come About? The annual assessment results for the previous AY are sent to the MSM DCC Chair and to the Director of Graduate Business Programs early during the fall semester. The MSM DCC Chair then meets with the MSM DCC to evaluate assessment results and to develop and recommend any action or program alterations to improve assessment outcomes. In turn, any substantive recommendations go to the SCOB Graduate Committee for review and approval and a further recommendation is made to the Dean of the SCOB. The Dean then submits a proposal to the Graduate Council for final approval.
