Management of Complex Systems

The Management of Complex Systems (MCS) Ph.D. program is designed to educate a new generation of management scholars with depth in analytical methods and a focus on complexity as the driving force behind issues in management of human-technology systems and in management of coupled human-natural systems. The program draws upon the multidisciplinary composition of faculty and the interdisciplinary spirit of UC Merced to deliver a distinctive educational experience. As such, the program does not require prospective students to have any particular undergraduate degree.
