Through hands-on learning and team-based activities, you’ll master key project management techniques aligned with the Project Management Institute’s Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) standards and prepare students for the Project Management Professional (PMP®) exam. Gain practical experience as you learn about the project life cycle, develop effective deliverables, and assess project performance all while building a strong foundation in best practices. By the end of the course, students should be able to:

  • Demonstrate knowledge of leadership theories and project management principles through case studies and practical assignments.
  • Develop strategic project plans, including risk management and stakeholder communication, to lead teams toward successful project outcomes.
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders and collaborate on peer-reviewed projects to enhance teamwork and leadership skills.

Master of Science in Technology Leadership & Innovation

For students interested in pursuing a master's degree, we offer a Master of Science in Technology Leadership and Innovation (MSTLI). The three courses required for the Project Management Graduate Certificate (9 credit hours) can be applied toward the MSTLI if students choose to continue their education in the master's program. Admission into the graduate certificate does not automatically mean acceptance into the master’s degree. Students must apply to each program individually for consideration.
