Optional Specialization in Management Sciences (OSMS)

The Optional Specialization in Management Sciences (OSMS) is designed to provide undergraduate students with a solid foundation in management sciences by offering a number of specialized courses. The courses are tailored to better prepare undergraduate students for careers in engineering or applied science management, or for graduate studies in management-related specializations, i.e., MBA. Strong demand for engineering and science graduates with acquired management training and skills makes the OSMS an excellent tool for enhancing job prospects after graduation.

Enrollment and Graduation Eligibilty

Undergraduate students in the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science or in the Faculty of Science, with the exception of Industrial Engineering and Architectural Science, are eligible to enroll in the Optional Specialization in Management Sciences as long as they maintain a clear academic standing.
