Program Information
The Undergraduate Project Management certificate serves as a great way to build the skills to keep your projects on task, on time and on budget. It provides students with a combination of foundational concepts in project management and the opportunity to develop and apply technical skills using an online project management platform. Students will learn multiple practical skills including budgeting, conflict resolution, communication, project scoping, developing and using resources, leadership, and team building. Students gain knowledge from faculty who are certified by PMI®. Courses draw from the industry-standard PMBOK body of knowledge for teaching project management concepts, and the Asana platform for training and application of project management skills. Students will create project plans for a professional portfolio and receive dedicated coaching and support for a transition into the field. This certificate program is ideal for those interested in understanding and mastering the practice of project management, and it prepares students for a job in the field and/or taking the CAPM or PMP exam after their program. In contrast to the concentration, the certificate is meant for students who want a quicker and more practical training in project management techniques in order to make themselves more employable for project management jobs in a variety of settings.
