<p>I am looking at getting an MSM (from UF Gainesville) - which from my understanding is essentially the first year of an MBA program.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how long I'll be in Gainesville...so does anybody know if an MSM will effectively transfer to another school...so as to avoid the first year of an MBA program?</p>
<p>Also, anybody with an MSM have any feedback on having just the MSM? </p>
<p>Any feedback would be appreciated! </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>By and large, good MBA programs do not accept transfer credits.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply!</p>
<p>Though, does anyone with an MSM have any feedback on how it's working out for them?</p>
<p>Hi,
the MSM degree from UF is a great degree, but not a sub for an MBA. It will, however satisfy the requirements for entrance into an accelerated MBA if you go to a school with such a program. If you're interested in UF, why not forgo the MSM and apply for their 1 year accelerated MBA, there is an option "B" for non business majors. The average GMAT is ~690.</p>
<p>Thank you for the response!</p>
<p>One of the main reasons I wasn't sure about going for the MBA, as opposed to the MSM, is because I wasn't sure I could get in. I have been doing sales for about 4 years, have a bachelor's in Advertising with a roughly 3.2 gpa, and would most likely do above average on the gmat. I wasn't sure if that would be enough to get me in. The interview is by invite only, and I'm sure if I could get one, then that would help a lot (I AM in sales!), but there's no guarantee.</p>
<p>You said the MSM from UF is great, but no sub for an MBA - which I am aware of, but what makes it great? </p>
<p>What kinds of doors will be opened with an MSM?</p>
<p>Also, yes I will be looking at an accelerated MBA, should I go ahead and get my MSM.</p>
<p>Thank you again for the past feedback, and any future answers/info you have!</p>
<p>Also, any good sites that covers these kinds of questions? Yes, I tried google, and they don't have a whole lot of hits for "MSM".</p>
<p>Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!</p>
