Overview

This program is designed to provide formalized education in the area of project engineering and construction management. The online graduate certificate program also aims to equip students with a set of tools that will allow them to achieve international standards in the management area, to successfully manage projects and human resources, and to analyze, evaluate and improve systems. Specifically, this program will give the participants the ability to:

  • Identify operations problems and implement solutions for improved strategic competitiveness.
  • Make sound decisions, plan and control the key resources (money and people) of an organization.
  • Critically analyze, evaluate, improve, or adapt existing technical and managerial systems.
  • Design and develop new technical and managerial systems.

Pathway to a master's degree

Are you a working professional who wants to earn your master's degree, but you don’t have time to take the GRE? Then start in a graduate certificate program. This graduate certificate was designed as a pathway to a civil engineering MS, engineering management MS or environmental engineering  MS.

The admission requirements are more relaxed and credit earned will count toward your degree. Once you successfully earn your graduate certificate, you can continue with the corresponding master's degree without having to take the GRE. Completion of a graduate certificate program does not automatically guarantee admission into a corresponding graduate degree program. To continue in a master’s degree program, you must apply. If you are applying to a PhD program, you are still required to submit GRE scores.

Accreditation

Missouri University of Science and Technology is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, one of six regional institutional accreditors in the United States.
