Program Formats
The Project Management program is available in both an online format and an on-campus format. You can opt to take classes online, on campus, or through a combination of both.
On-Campus Format: In the on-campus format, classes are held at the same times every week at our downtown D.C. campus.
Online Format: The online master’s has the same curriculum as the on-campus format and offers access to all of the same University resources. In this format, you’ll be able to watch lectures and complete assignments on your own schedule.
You’ll have the flexibility to earn your degree at a pace that suits your schedule:
Full-time students typically take 9 credits (3 courses) during the fall and spring semesters.
Part-time students typically take 3 to 6 credits (1 to 2 courses) during the fall and spring semesters.
Although students are not required to take credits during the summer semester, they have the option of registering for one or more courses in order to continue their progress year-round.
