As a student in the MSXM, you will be required to complete a 27-credit core of graduate management courses. These core courses are common to all master's degree programs in management.  The program includes 12 credits of required specialization courses related to new product management, and one three-credit elective. Each student completes either a six-credit thesis or a three-credit project and six-credits of additional elective. These two options have two primary objectives:

• it is a learning experience in which the student has the opportunity to discover something about a business topic that is not readily accessible, that is not conventional wisdom, and is not found in any book or other common source; and
• it is a means by which the student demonstrates his or her depth and breadth of learning from the MSXM program.

Students choosing the thesis option are expected to engage in either a company-sponsored project related to export, or a cultural immersion experience that requires at least two weeks travel to a location outside the United States.
