Master of Business Administration (MBA)

School of Business and Technology

Project Management specialization

In today's competitive business environment, where technology skills are often outsourced, many businesses consider it critical to keep project management skills in-house. This Project Management MBA specialization helps sharpen those skills, including project planning, risk management, and project procurement. It is accredited by The Project Management Institute (PMI®) Global Accreditation Center for Project Management (GAC) and was designed around A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). Through core business courses, you will also strengthen your overall business acumen to build the perspective you need to interact effectively with other managers to meet business goals. People who choose this specialization are often pursuing project management, director-level, or consulting positions, especially those that are more business than IT-focused.
