Certificate in Project Management

The Certificate in Project Management is designed to prepare new or aspiring project managers to oversee complex projects from the initial planning stages while balancing competing demands of time, cost and quality.

The Graham School of Management’s coordinated sequence of graduate courses focuses on industry-standard processes approved by the Project Management Institute (PMI) to help successfully manage any type of project regardless of scope or industry. Students will practice these concepts in a project-based team environment. This program will also prepare students for the components of the PMI Project Management Professional (PMP®) or Certified Associate Project Manager (CAPM®) examinations.

The courses can be taken as a stand-alone certificate. They can also be applied to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program.

Individuals who successfully complete the Certificate program and apply for a Graham School of Management graduate degree will have a streamlined application process. No admission test will be required.
