Master of Science in Management

Marlboro’s organizational leadership graduate program is a home for purpose-driven leaders to elevate themselves and empower their communities. At Marlboro, students develop their authentic leadership, participate in a vibrant learning community, and learn how to guide healthy, high-functioning teams in nonprofit, business, or government organizations.

To meet each student’s professional goals, Marlboro offers a choice of a Master of Science in Management (MSM) or a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. Both programs have a convenient, low-residency format with retreat-like residencies one weekend a month at Marlboro’s beautiful southern Vermont campus.

Students graduate from the organizational leadership program with the essential skills necessary to lead mission-driven enterprises in complex times. Marlboro graduates create start-ups, join consultancies, build new networks, or lead in existing enterprises across many industries, ranging from food security to solar energy, alternative schools to economic development.

Marlboro was founded in 1946 based on a simple yet ambitious idea: that smart, motivated students can make decisions for themselves, and design a college education that meets their unique needs.

Since our first day of operation on a small farm in southern Vermont, Marlboro has always run on a community-governance model. Every member of the college community has a say in what happens here, whether we’re maintaining the miles of wilderness trails that surround us or adding a group tutorial to the course list for the coming semester.
