Certificate in Project Management

(Available online or at our Northern Virginia Center)

Our graduate-level certificate is designed to familiarize students with the many facets of project management to enable them to transfer the knowledge acquired to project management positions in the public and private sectors. The 8-course certificate combines both required and elective courses.  Required courses are designed to provide a core body of knowledge or framework and information on how to apply a wide range of tools in order to become an effective project manager. Elective courses introduce the skills specific to different industries and build on the required courses.  

The certificate is ideal for individuals required to manage projects in any field, as well as those in the engineering field with a limited understanding of how to perform their role in a project management environment.  

All required and elective courses are offered online and at our Northern Virginia Center. The certificate can be completed totally online.
