Project Management Curriculum
Designed by the authors of the Project Management Institute (PMI®) certification test, this program provides you access to the theories, skills, and practical knowledge needed to become a certified project manager. The Project Management Institute is the premier global professional association for project managers. Visit the PMI website for information on the organization and its credentialing options.
Upon completion of this four-course program, students will receive a Master's Certificate in Project Management, which fulfills the educational requirement for "Project Management Professional" (PMP®) certification. PMP certification also requires relevant work experience and a passing score on a PMI certification examination. You will master all of the relevant knowledge: project life cycles; planning for resources, costs, budgets, risks and staffing requirements; timelines; periodic evaluations; and strategic impacts.
Our courses are 8 weeks long and require approximately 17 hours of study per week. Online content will be presented in English, however, our instructors are bilingual and will facilitate online discussions in Spanish. Assignment feedback can be provided in either Spanish or English, depending on individual preference.
Students complete one module per week and while there are scheduled deliverables for each module, individuals can choose to participate online when its convenient for them. For an optimal experience we encourage two to three logins per week.
Credits earned in the certification program may also be applied toward an MBA degree at either JIU or the Universidad de Deusto. Contact our admissions office for more information.
