Facilities Management

Masters of Science

The Master of Science in Facilities Management (MSFM) program prepares professionals to lead with vision, solve complex challenges, and turn innovative ideas into meaningful results. In today’s rapidly evolving facilities environment, good ideas are only the starting point. The ability to successfully implement those ideas is what drives excellence—and sets exceptional leaders apart.

Through a dynamic curriculum focused on strategic leadership, collaboration, innovation, and implementation, students develop the skills and confidence to transform creative solutions into effective, sustainable practices. The program equips current and aspiring facilities management professionals with the personal, interpersonal, and organizational expertise needed to lead teams, influence decision-making, and make a lasting impact across a wide range of industries.

Built for working professionals, the MSFM combines the flexibility of a 100% online learning environment with the engagement and connection of live, synchronous classes. Delivered in an accelerated 17-month executive format, the program includes nine three-credit courses and a four-credit capstone course, for a total of 31 credits.

 

 

 

The MSFM will provide critical technical, leadership and management skills to effectively manage facility operations and personnel to meet the demands of today’s complex operating environment.

 

 

MMA’s MSFM 17 month On-line/Executive format (instruction on alternate Friday evenings/Saturdays), allows students to continue their professional careers, and concurrently apply academic skills obtained during the program to their organizations.
