Careers and Placement


The MSM/OR and MSM/SC programs share a common goal: to prepare quantitatively competent graduates to work in organizations creating highly technical products and services, providing technical support for managerial planning and control efforts, and to act as consultants. Graduates of both MSM tracks are skilled in the use of computers, mathematical models and statistics to solve practical business problems and in the principles and concepts associated with a business specialty. They also possess a basic understanding of managerial functions, facilitating practical problem solving and effective communication with non-technical management personnel.

The Weatherhead School of Management’s Career and Student Life Center provides a wide range of career development and networking opportunities during the academic year. For example, recruiters and/or business managers are invited to campus regularly to participate in seminars, panel discussions, informal receptions and career forums. Workshops offered range from training on the finer points of business etiquette to assistance for job seekers. Students can meet individually with a career consultant for customized assistance on a variety of topics, including career assessment and decision-making, resume review, job search strategy, interviewing skills, and mock interview practice sessions. The Career and Student Life Center can also arrange for mentors from the business community to work with students as they explore career opportunities and begin to build a professional network.
