Special Studies in Administration and Management
These courses are designed to provide students with practical techniques for decision making within businesses and other organizations, such as nonprofit entities. The emphasis is on mastering skills immediately useful to successful business operations. These courses also introduce evolving technological, managerial, and practical insights that can improve business practices over the long term.
Courses share a particular emphasis on the practical application of the topics covered, yet each course is designed to draw from its respective intellectual foundation: international economics, information technology, finance, industrial organization, or political economy.
The joint emphases on applicable skills and intellectual foundations mean that these courses have direct relevance to both those seeking specific technical capability in the topic area and also those studying to build a foundation of knowledge in preparation for further formal programs of study, such as MBA and MPA degrees.
SSAM courses are not available to Secondary School Program students. Harvard College students see additional information.
