MA/MS in Management

The Master of Science in Management at the University of Saskatchewan's Edwards School of Business is a thesis-based graduate program intended to prepare students for research careers or doctoral study. Delivered in person in Saskatoon over an expected two years, students complete required coursework alongside independent thesis research under an assigned faculty supervisor, with matching to a supervisor typically arranged during the first year rather than required at the point of application. Students choose a concentration in finance, marketing, or management research, with the latter offering further streams in areas such as operations and information systems, human resources and organizational behaviour, entrepreneurship and strategic management, or accounting. The program combines experiential learning with close faculty mentorship and offers funding support across the first two years. It suits graduates of business or related undergraduate programs who want structured training in academic research methods, whether as preparation for a PhD or for research-oriented roles in industry.
