Mona School of Business and Management (MSBM) was established on August 1, 2012. It evolved from the merger of the former Mona School of Business (MSB) that had a 25 year history of delivering master’s level business management education and the Department of Management Studies (DOMS) which had a rich 42 years history of delivering undergraduate and graduate management programmes.

MSBM is a key plank of the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona’s value proposition to its constituents in Jamaica and the region. Specifically, its mandate is to be the arm of the University that facilitates effective business education and practices in the private and public sectors in order to advance the economic development agenda of Jamaica and the region by:

1. creating human capital through business and management education programmes,
2. delivering executive education and professional development training,
3. creating intellectual capital through the conduct of research and the dissemination of the findings,
4. providing management consultancy service, and
5. creating social capital through outreach activities in the wider society .

MSBM offers undergraduate (B.Sc.) degree programmes in Management Studies, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Operations, Management Information Systems (Western Jamaica Campus (WJC)), Banking and Finance (offered jointly with the Department of Economics), Chemistry Management (Administered by the Faculty of Science and Technology) and Tourism Management.

Postgraduate degree programmes offered by MSBM include: the Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA), Master in Business Administration (MBA) - Internationally Accredited by AMBA, Master of Science(MSc) degree programmes in: Accounting, Computer-Based Management Information Systems(CBMIS), Enterprise Risk Management(ERM), National Security and Strategic Studies. As a result of demands by professionals as well as MSBM's forward-thinking approach to delivering top-quality education, in September 2017, the School introduced MSc. programmes in Corporate Finance, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Marketing and Data Analytics and Procurement Management. All programmes are offered in an excellent learning environment, using a pool of talented and highly qualified local and international faculty.

MSBM complements its unique academic programmes with cutting edge consultancy services and public policy research, the principal business objective being to provide decision makers with expert advice for handling their most critical strategic issues.

In this regard MSBM has handled a large portfolio of multidisciplinary projects in Jamaica and the region relating to leadership and management development, strategic thinking and management, project and performance management systems, and other areas of professional services and continues to contribute to the development of a particular ethos within the business community in Jamaica and the region.

Like most Business Schools of repute, MSBM includes unique perspectives and relevant business related content in its publication the MSB Business Review which was launched in 2010. In 2012 the magazine was renamed the MSBM Business Review to reflect the school’s merger exercise.
