Program Description The Project Management Certificate is designed to give experienced students a strong competency in project management that they may apply to both employee and management-level positions in almost any field.

Building these skills through this certificate will increase students’ qualification to enter or advance into management roles in business, and a variety of specialty fields. This certificate requires successful completion of a minimum of 28 credits as outlined.
