August 15, 2003 UWGB program brings flexibility to master's lst management master's graduate says degree helps By Felicia James Those hopes became reality even before she became the University of
Wisconsin-Green Bay's first graduate of its master's in management program
this month.
The master's program helped catapult Davids to her new career as public
relations manager for the Stockbridge/Munsee Indian Tribe, she said.
As a Green Bay resident, the local program made her goal more realistic.
It appealed to her because it was designed primarily for working professionals.
"Because the major is very broad, I can do anything business-related
- in human resources, organizational change, team dynamics and working
in a supervisory position," said Davids.
Davids previously was a multicultural adviser for the university's American
Intercultural Center.
UW-Green Bay changed its administrative sciences program to a master's
of management in September 2002, according to John Harris, associate professor
of management.
"It was felt that it would make it a stronger degree," Harris said.
The course work provides a "more in-depth management study."
The capstone of the program is a hands-on professional project that
examines a major organizational issue.
The university wanted a program to prepare people with work experience
for a professional management career, and it may have discovered another
niche.
"We have people in every kind of setting imaginable from health care,
human service, business and local government," said Harris.
Currently, approximately 50 students are enrolled in the program.
UWGB's new degree:
Curriculum: The 36-credit curriculum consists of a graduate core
of six courses, four elective management courses and a professional project
