MASTER OF SCIENCE
Queen's Master of Science in Management is a 12-month program focusing on business research in one of eight fields of study: accounting, finance, management information systems, marketing, organizational behaviour, management science, business economics, and strategy. This program provides students with an advanced-level conceptual foundation in their chosen field, and allows for the pursuit of highly-focused research.
The primary goal of the M.Sc. program is to prepare students for entry into the School of Business PhD program and other high-quality Ph.D. programs. Some students also choose to go into consulting careers and research analyst positions.
The program begins in September of each year, and requires three terms (12 months) of full time continuous study. There is no provision for part-time study.
The program is designed for students across a variety of disciplines. Applicants with a four-year undergraduate commerce or business degrees, as well as graduates of other disciplines are eligible to apply. For example, economics graduates may choose to pursue a M.Sc. in finance, engineering or mathematics graduates may choose management science, while psychology or sociology majors may choose organizational behaviour. Other undergraduate degrees will also be considered for study in a related area.
Academic Qualifications for Admission
Applicants must have a minimum of a B+ average in the last 2 years of study in a four-year undergraduate degree or higher degree in a discipline that is related to their field of interest. Admissions are competitive, and based on the candidate's background as well as the overall program size and number of students in each field. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis from December to March.
Required Field Courses
Students will elect a primary field of interest from the following list, and two courses within their primary field:
Accounting: MGMT-810* Survey of Accounting Thought and Practice and MGMT-811* Management Accounting Research
Business Economics: MGMT-885* Managerial Economics and Policy Seminar and MGMT-882* Economics of Organizations

Course Requirements
In addition to the field courses listed above, students will take:
-
At least two additional elective half, or one-term courses (a one-term course is 3.0 credit units) at the graduate level or equivalent, either from within the field of interest or from other areas which complement your planned research. These courses may be selected within Queen's School of Business or from other departments in the University. Typically one will be a Ph.D. elective in your chosen area and one a graduate-level elective.
-
One course in quantitative methods chosen, depending on your field of interest, from MGMT 803: Statistics, MGMT 988: Applied Statistics and Econometrics, or ECON 852: Econometrics.
-
MGMT 890: M.Sc. Research Workshop. This workshop is designed to foster an appreciation of research methods and assist you in developing your research project.
-
MGMT 898: M.Sc. Research Project. The research project carries a 3 term course weight (9.0 credit units) which reflects the degree of importance that the faculty places on this component of the program. The project is to be completed and approved by an examining committee in the summer term.
-
The School of Business also offers an Ethics course that is suitable for all areas of specialization and can be used as an elective.

DOCTORAL PROGRAM
The program of study leading to the Ph.D. in Management provides for a specialization in one major field (Accounting, Finance, Management Information Systems, Management Science, Business Economics, Marketing, Organizational Behaviour), which is complemented with a minor concentration in a related area taken from within or outside of the School of Business. Together with the courses in Research Methods and Quantitative Analysis and teaching, the program provides knowledge of the necessary theory and research methods to enable students to engage in high quality research and teaching. Emphasis is placed on research, initially in the form of a first-year research paper, conference presentations and submission of manuscripts to journals, and ultimately in the completion of the doctoral thesis.
Academic Qualifications for Admission
The minimum academic qualifications for admission are:
a) A master's degree
Or
b) A four year Bachelor Honours degree, and completion with high standing of one academic year of full-time graduate study in a program that is directly related to management studies at a recognized university. Examples of recognized related studies include master's programs in: Business, Public Administration; Economics; Psychology; Industrial Relations; Mathematics; Operations Research or Industrial Engineering; Sociology; Statistics; Political Science; Education; Anthropology; Gender Studies, Cultural and Global Development Studies; Urban and Economic Geography; and Urban and Regional Planning with an emphasis on economics and quantitative analysis.
Or c) Direct entry: consistent with the applicable School of Graduate Studies admission regulation, students with unquestionably superior standing in their honours bachelor's degree, or equivalent, may be considered for direct admission to a doctoral program. Students admitted in this way must complete a minimum of two session-length or four term length graduate courses during the doctoral program.
Research
The major research requirement in the program is the thesis. Students are encouraged to make an early start in developing their research interests and skills, and the program is designed to support this. Completion of a research project in the first summer in residence following participation in the Fall Research Methods course is mandatory, and is an important ingredient in the evaluation of each student's performance. This research paper may form the basis of the thesis proposal. Students are also strongly encouraged to engage in additional research projects, and attendance at major international conferences is encouraged and supported.
Comprehensive Examination
A comprehensive examination must be taken in the student's major area. This examination may include a written and an oral component. Students are required to take this exam in the summer term of the 2nd year of studies. For complete information consult the department.
Course Requirements
Course completion consists of 12 half, or one-term, courses (a one-term course is 3.0 credit units). Students will complete a five course major, 3 course minor, 3 research/quants/methods courses, and an elective.
In addition, all students complete a non-credit teaching course ( MGMT-993) unless an exemption is granted based on prior coursework or teaching experience.
Relationship to the Ph.D. Program
The Ph.D. requires completion of between six and twelve half, or one-term, courses (a one-term course is 3.0 credit units). M.Sc. graduates who are admitted to the Ph.D. program can anticipate accelerated progress toward completing their degree since they will have a graduate level foundation in their major field.
Students who have completed a Master's of Science in Management at Queen's University will normally be required to complete a minimum of six 3.0 credit unit courses.
Students who have completed a Master of Arts in Economics at Queen's University will normally be required to complete between six and twelve 3.0 credit unit courses.
Thus, the Ph.D requires completion of between six and twelve 3.0 credit unit courses, depending on the prior academic background of the student.
In each case, the number of courses required will be at the discretion of the Associate Dean of the Ph.D/M.Sc Program in the School of Business.
A normal course load is three courses per term.
PROGRAM TIMING
The Ph.D. program begins each year in September and normally requires a minimum four years of full-time study. In addition to regular course work, first year students become involved in research through a research workshop course, where they work closely with a faculty advisor to develop research skills. In the second year, students will complete course requirements and take a comprehensive examination during the summer. In the third and fourth years, they will develop and defend a thesis proposal, and then complete and defend the dissertation. All students meet with the Associate Dean and Associate Director to discuss program planning each spring.
The program is designed so that the course work and comprehensive examination should be completed in the first two years of study. This enables students to devote two full years to their research theses, with the expectation that the program requirements can then be completed in a four to five year period.
