Special Tuition Rate
Professional Graduate Certificates
Each student is eligible for the Special Tuition Rate for only one Professional Graduate
Certificate program and must be continuously enrolled in courses applicable to the
program each term after starting the program to receive this rate. Students may enroll
in additional Professional Graduate Certificate programs at the regular Graduate Tuition
Rate. Tuition and fees are subject to change.
This program 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
