The CAPSTONE Course Requirement

The M.S. in Management is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and capabilities to be professional contributors and technical managers in a functional area of organizations. It is intended for students who want to acquire more expertise in a specialized area before they seek general management skills and capabilities later in their careers. All students enrolled in the M.B.A. and M.S. programs in the Lally School of Management and Technology are required to complete a 3-credit CAPSTONE course. The CAPSTONE serves as an opportunity for students to synthesize the body of knowledge gained during their course of study and is ordinarily completed in the final term of the degree program.

CAPSTONE Course Requirement for the M.B.A. Program
The CAPSTONE course requirement for the M.B.A. program is satisfied by students taking the required course MGMT-6660 Strategy, Technology, and Entrepreneurship.

CAPSTONE Course Requirement for the M.S. Program
The CAPSTONE course requirement for the M.S. program can be satisfied by:

• Taking MGMT-6680 Strategy, Technology, and Global Competitive Advantage or MGMT-7540 Leadership and Organizational Improvement.
  
• Conducting an independent research project (MGMT-7980) with the approval of a full-time faculty advisor. The independent research should result in a high-quality research paper that is suitable for publication in a journal. Such efforts are separate and independent of course work used to satisfy other M.S. program requirements.
