POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam has announced its first fully online degree program -- the master of science in management.

The program has three tracks: organizational leadership, training and human capital development, and information technology - each branching from a foundation of core courses in management. The flexible program is structured around creating learning environments in which students, instructors and real-world clients interact to tackle complex problems and create practical meaning and understanding.

SUNY Potsdam is known for its 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio and tightknit atmosphere. The goal with the new online option for the management program is to translate that close learning experience to digital platforms as well. The option to take courses online provides a level of convenience and access that puts a graduate degree within reach for many students who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity.

In-person coursework will still be offered both at SUNY Potsdam and at the College's Watertown Extension Center, based at Jefferson Community College. Many of those classes are offered on evenings and weekends, to fit into students' busy schedules.

All management students benefit from core coursework in policy, ethics, data management, financial oversight, organizational development, leadership principles and research techniques. Students are also challenged to put their knowledge into practice, by tackling pressing issues for actual businesses and organizations, including through culminating professional projects.

The management program consists of 36 credits and takes two years for a full-time student to complete. Admission is on a rolling basis, and students can start in either the spring, fall or summer semesters. To find out more, visit http://potsdam.edu/management.
