Master in Management (MiM) programs are gaining popularity in the United States, offering a shorter and more cost-effective alternative to traditional MBA programs. These programs are particularly appealing to younger students looking to enhance their qualifications immediately after undergrad, rather than entering the workforce first.
Despite being underappreciated in the U.S., MiMs are poised for growth as companies seek candidates who can contribute quickly. MiMs cater to a diverse audience and attract students with little to no work experience. They often have a shorter duration, making them attractive to women and underrepresented minorities. Poets&Quants has compiled a list of 33 MiM programs at 29 U.S. business schools.
The MiM market is evolving toward a European model, with three years of undergraduate study followed by one year in a MiM program. International students are increasingly enrolling in U.S. MiM programs, drawn by their STEM designation and opportunities for U.S. work experience.
These programs offer a bridge to the world of work, allowing graduates to contribute immediately in their careers. While MiMs may still be relatively unknown in the U.S., they are on the rise, with schools actively working to raise awareness among students and employers.
