MSMT 502 Foundations of Management

The GS 502 includes nine (9) online learning modules designed to equip students for success in the MS in Management program. The modules are (1) Foundations of Communication, (2) Foundations of Business Integration & Strategic Management, (3) Foundations of Organizational Behavior, (4) Foundations of Human Resource Management (5) Foundations of Finance, (6) Foundations of Marketing, (7) Foundations of Statistics, (8) Foundations of Ethics and (9) Foundations of Academic Writing. The online 2 Foundations course is largely self-paced. An instructor provides assistance as needed. Students complete a pre-test for each module to assess their strengths and weaknesses. Brightspace then produces a customized learning module appropriate for their individual needs. Students use the module to master key concepts and skills. They then demonstrate mastery through post-tests. Students may repeat each post-test an unlimited number of times during the 5-week session to earn a passing grade. Students must pass every assigned module in the Foundation courses with a score of 70% in order to proceed to later courses in the master’s program.
