Organizations are relying more on projects—and their successful management and delivery—to meet their strategic goals. What was once recognized as an “accidental profession,” project management is applicable to a growing range of industries including government contracting, information technology, healthcare, law, non-profit development, and public relations. Both private and public-sector firms require project managers to tackle increasingly complex projects and more demanding customers while striving for greater efficiency and transparency.
The Certificate in Project Management is designed for professionals that are looking to enter a new career field or those that simply want to gain new skills. Students gain a deep understanding of the core concepts, practices, and skills needed to become a more effective and valued project manager.
The program is based on curriculum grounded in theory and real-world applications—and with the understanding that it takes processes, practices, and people to successfully manage projects. Our program is built on the core processes defined in the Project Management Institute’s “A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge.” There is also a strong emphasis on helping students develop the technical and people skills required to successfully manage projects on time, on budget, and within scope while meeting stakeholder expectations and customer needs.
Devoted to teaching excellence, our faculty bring their extensive working knowledge to the classroom. Our student population, with their diverse educations, backgrounds, and experiences, contribute in a meaningful way to classroom discussions.
