Getting Started
"We had the credit and non-credit certificate programs in project management for about a decade. About four years ago, we decided to make project management (which already existed as a for-credit certificate program) one of our online management curriculum options. It became a 12-course master degree program in project management. We waive one or two of the courses depending on the students' training background and whether they are certified project managers."
