The MASc and MMSc programs are available in the areas of applied operations research, informations systems or management of technology.
All students in the Department of Management Sciences must demonstrate competency in the material covered by the following four courses:
- M SCI 603 Principles of Operations Research,
- M SCI 605 Organizational Theory and Behaviour,
- M SCI 607 Economic Concepts for Management,
- M SCI 609 Quantitative Data Analysis for Management Sciences.
Competency can be established in any General Requirement course either by taking the course or by passing a written exam, administered by the instructor assigned to teach the General Requirements course in that year.
Additional degree requirements for the specific master's programs (MASc, MMSc, MMSc MOT@Distance) are listed under the appropriate program headings.
In addition to the four General Requirement courses (MSci 603, MSci 605, MSci 607, MSci 609), students in the Master of Applied Sciences program must take at least four additional courses, totaling a minimum requirement of eight courses overall (.50 unit weight per course/4 units). These courses must be at the 600 and 700- level with an overall average of at least 73%, and a maximum of one course grade under 70%.
MSci 601 Research Methods in the Management Sciences is strongly recommended for all master's students.
Students in the Master of Applied Science program complete a thesis which contains some elements of original work. (The thesis is supervised by a faculty advisor, examined by a committee including two or more other members, and placed on display in the Faculty of Engineering Graduate Office).
In addition to the four General Requirement courses (MSci 603, MSci 605, MSci 607, MSci 609), students in the Master of Management Sciences program must take at least four additional courses, totaling a minimum requirement of eight courses overall (.50 unit weight per course/4 units). These courses must be at the 600 and 700- level with an overall average of at least 73%, and a maximum of one course grade under 70%.
MSci 601 Research Methods in the Management Sciences is strongly recommended for all master's students.
Students in the Master of Applied Science program or the Master of Management Sciences program, who qualify, may choose a co-operative program of study. For a co-operative program of study a student must complete two work-terms and must complete the MASc or MMSc program during an academic term. The co-operative placements must relate to the program of study. Enrolment in the co-operative program must be approved by the student's supervisor and the Associate Chair Graduate Studies.
See Degree Requirements for Master of Applied Science (MASc) program or Master of Management Sciences (MMSc) program.
Co-op students are responsible for following the regulations and procedures of Co-op Education and Career Services.
All students in the Management of Technology Master of Management Sciences program must demonstrate competency in the material covered by the following six courses:
- M SCI 602 Principles of Management of Technology

- M SCI 605 Organizational Theory and Behaviour
- M SCI 606 Foundations of Senior Management
- M SCI 607 Economic Concepts for Management
- M SCI 609 Quantitative Data Analysis for Management Sciences
Competency can be established in any General Requirement course either by taking the course or by passing a written exam, administered by the instructor assigned to teach the General Requirements course in that year.
Students in the MSciOnline MMSc program (602, 603, 605, 606, 607, 609) must take at least two additional courses, totaling a minimum requirement of eight courses overall (.50 unit weight per course/5 units of credit).
