Business Management - Project Management Certificate

Core Requirements  Areas of Specialization  Certificate Outcomes

See program requirement sheet.

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. Project management is a skill set that is in high demand. Students learn to manage short-term projects, including planning, building and working with teams, creating schedules, allocating resources and budgets, monitoring and troubleshooting problems and changes. 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. The certificate requires students to work with a Business Management adviser to select those courses which will help students achieve their educational and career goals. Courses from this certificate may apply to one of the Business Management Department’s Associate of Technical Arts Degrees. Many courses are available online.

Credit/Grade Requirements This Certificate requires successful completion of a minimum of 38 credits as outlined. A minimum of 30 credits or one-third of the required credits, whichever is less, must be earned at Edmonds Community College. Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in all college-level courses.

Graduation Application A completed Graduation Application form must be submitted to Enrollment Services by the 10th day of the quarter in which the student expects to graduate. Forms are available online or at Enrollment Services located in Lynnwood Hall.

Students are advised to:

• Plan their schedule several quarters in advance in order to accommodate courses that are offered only once or twice a year,
• Review the college catalog for required course prerequisites and include these in schedule planning, and
• Communicate with a faculty adviser.

Note: This requirement planning sheet is not a substitute for meeting with an academic adviser. Meeting the requirements to graduate with an Edmonds Community College degree or certificate is ultimately the responsibility of the student.
