Part-time MBA vs. Master's in Management (MiM)

The Master's in Management (MiM) program offers online flexibility and
comprehensive business foundations knowledge (the MBA core) with an emphasis on the data-
driven analytical skills that are becoming a requirement for a successful career in business.

For some, the MiM serves as an MBA alternative. For those who wish to pursue an MBA, the
program offers a path to Stern’s Langone Part-time MBA program.

The MiM program is cohort-based. Students take 22 courses, one at a time for 20 months.
Three courses are hybrid and completed partly in person during two immersive four-day
residency opportunities on campus.

MiM and Online MBA courses are structured differently:

  • MiM courses are largely self-paced during the week (with deliverable due dates).
    There are weekly live online meetups with faculty, scheduled to be time zone friendly
    for all students in the program. Attendance is optional, though strongly recommended
    and you may be required to do a make-up assignment if you miss one.
  • Online MBA courses are taught live on Zoom one weeknight (Monday-Thursday) each
    week, 7-9 PM Eastern Time and attendance is required.

At the end of the MiM program, students in good academic standing choose whether to
graduate with the MS in Management degree or transfer to the Part-Time MBA Program. Those who
transfer are considered to have completed all required MBA courses.

For international students who do not have the visa necessary for part-time study in the U.S.,
the MiM provides an alternative pathway to the MBA. NYU supports visas for short visits to
NYC for both the MiM residencies and the in-person week of each Langone Part-Time MBA
module.  To learn more, see the International Students section of our website.
