Designed For Working Professionals
The MSIM Program is structured to accommodate working professionals in a convenient, executive-style class setting. Classes meet Tuesday evenings each week from 6-9PM and alternate Saturdays from 9AM-4PM. The program also includes two separate weeks of full-time study. In the summer semester, July and August run on a Tuesday/Thursday schedule, so students have their weekends free.
