While earning a Management Science degree at UTSA, you'll take a multidisciplinary approach to design systems, make decisions and solve complex problems for organizations. You'll focus on the development and application of scientific and mathematical modeling to help companies reach the best decisions possible. Because these skills lend themselves to increasing a firm's efficiency and productivity, this degree will prepare you for a number of careers in manufacturing, materials management, service operations, procurement, third party logistics, transportation processes and management consulting. As a Management Science major, you'll have the option of learning a business competency as you work toward completing your degree.

Solving problems and making decisions are integral parts of every organization's daily operations. The discipline of Management Science focuses on the development and application of scientific and mathematical modeling to aid organizations in making these decisions. Students will have the opportunity to develop and apply analytical models and to acquire essential computer skills necessary in the increasingly technical business environments.
