You can now participate in the same program that multinational corporations rely on to ensure project management excellence.
The graduate certificate in project management can be obtained as a stand-alone graduate certificate or as the first step towards the completion of the master’s degree program. Because you can continue working in your current position, the knowledge you attain with this certificate can be immediately applied to your workplace.
Through a curriculum based on real-world business needs and taught by industry-respected faculty, you will acquire expertise in:
- planning
- cost and value management
- project control
- workforce issues
- strategic issues
To earn the graduate certificate, students must complete:
- MANGT 510: Project Management
and then three more courses from the following list:
- MANGT 515: Cost and Value Management
- MANGT 520: Planning and Resource Management
- MANGT 525: Commercial Law and Project Procurement
- MANGT 531: Organizations
- MANGT 535: Interpersonal and Group Behavior
- MANGT 540: Strategy: Corporate, Business, and Project
- MANGT 575: Management of Projects

Because the 12-credit graduate certificate in project management is embedded in the master's degree program, these two programs share the same admissions process and tuition rates.
