Increase Your Visibility

"[GAC accreditation] is really important, as the University has a reputation for practice relevance, industry relevance and the employability of its graduates. It is extremely important to us. We have a really high level of student intake, but this will be an added plus and attraction. It will assure prospective students that what they do in their program has received external scrutiny and is recognised as being excellent in its field."

Dr. Lynn Crawford
Former Director, Project Management Research Group
University of Technology, Sydney (Australia)

As the educational landscape becomes more crowded, successful institutions are those who will find ways to make their programs stand out from the rest.

GAC accreditation makes your program part of the world's largest project management research, education and practice community — one that spans almost 500,000 individuals in 171 countries. One that has an unprecedented global visibility everywhere from academic events to the world of international business.

This can provide your program with unprecedented global visibility.

Boosting Enrollment

"There are many benefits of having a strong relationship with PMI. First, it's a great way for the program to be recognized by potential students worldwide. Right now, more than a third of my graduate students are from outside the USA, and many of them found out about Eastern Michigan University's program through the PMI website."

Dr. William Moylan, PMP, FESD
Director, Master of Science in Construction Management Program
Eastern Michigan University (USA)

Raising Awareness

"[GAC accreditation has] created an awareness of the university because so few [programs] are actually accredited in the world. So for those few that have that status it really puts the institution on the map in terms of the project management discipline."

Bill Haskins
Program Coordinator, Master of Science in Project Management Program
University of Wisconsin-Platteville (USA)

Achieving Recognition

"Project management is a growth field for our university, because we do so much teaching into the government sector. This shows that our three Masters programs have been recognized by the leading body, and made a certain standard."

Jill Owen
Lecturer, School of Business
University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy (Australia)
