The Certificate Program in Project Management provides a well-respected curriculum for professionals currently working as project managers or aspiring to take on project management responsibilities. In this highly interactive program, you learn multiple aspects of effective project management so you can plan and control projects and working effectively with project teams to go forward with confidence, improve performance, provide leadership, and deliver projects on time and on budget.

Project Management Institute®

Our project management courses are aligned with the most current industry standard developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI®) and utilize PMI's Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®, 4th edition). We are a PMI registered education provider so our project management courses apply toward PMI professional development units (provider #1173).

Requirements

The curriculum consists of six required courses, for a total of 14 semester units and 210 hours of instruction.
