Project Management Certificate Information

Project Management is one of the top ten technology skills in demand and an area in which companies are currently hiring, even in the current economy. Evolving trends show an increased demand for quality products and services, requiring a disciplined approach to managing projects. Federal agencies are increasingly specifying in Requests for Proposals that organizations have certified project managers on their staff. This certificate program will help to prepare you for the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Professional exam. All Project Management certificate courses are offered as a cohort at the Frederick Campus.

The certificate program consists of five graduate courses. These five courses (15 academic credits) can also be applied toward an MBA degree, if a student chooses to complete seven additional courses (22 academic credits).
