In terms of content, it is similar to the [[Master of Business Administration]] (MBA) degree as it contains identical management courses but is open to prospective postgraduate candidates at any level in their  career unlike MBA programs that have longer [[course credit]] requirements and only accept mid-career professionals. In many cases it is synonymous with the [[Master of Science in Management]] (MSM or MiM)<ref name=":0" /> and is also related to the [[Master of Commerce|Master of Science in Commerce]] (MS-Comm or MS-Com).<ref>{{Cite web |title=University of Virginia McIntire — M.S. in Commerce {{!}} McIntire School of Commerce - UVA |url=https://www.commerce.virginia.edu/ms-commerce |access-date=2024-01-29 |website=University of Virginia McIntire School of Commerce |language=en}}</ref>

==Program structure==
The mode of delivery of the program can be full-time,  part-time, distance-learning, accelerated, or executive.

The MM program for younger professionals with limited professional experience often resembles an [[master of business administration|MBA program]]. It typically prepares students to handle management issues in all areas of business, with the option to concentrate or specialize in one area. Most programs begin with a set of required courses and then offer more specialized courses two thirds of the way through the program. Topics in the MM program often [[accounting]], [[finance]], [[business administration]], [[international business]], [[marketing management]], [[supply chain management]], [[human resources]], [[Nonprofit studies|nonprofit management]], and [[entrepreneurship]].

The MM program for senior professionals with managerial experience (typically 10+ years) often resembles an Executive MBA (EMBA) program. It typically prepares students to handle the tasks associated with interdisciplinary business-related subjects such as ethical decision making, [[business law]], global business values, workplace security, [[corporate crime]], and employee motivation.<ref>{{cite book|author=Richard Montauk|title=How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs, 5th Edition|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kkSp1hHOkPUC&pg=PT48|year=2010|publisher=Penguin Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-7352-0450-8|pages=48+}}</ref> 

==Admissions==
Business school admission committees normally evaluate applicants based on [[GPA]] score (and graduate GPA if applicable), [[Résumé|resumes]], letters of recommendation, essays, and personal interviews. Based on these indicators, a committee decides if the applicant is suitable for the academic profile of the program, can demonstrate considerable leadership potential, and contribute positively to the student body of the school as a whole.
