Business project management

Overview

Specifically it will give students the ability to:

• Identify operations problems and implement solutions for improved strategic competitiveness.

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/GMAT? Then start in a graduate certificate program. This graduate certificate was designed as a pathway to an MBA or information science and technology 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/GMAT. 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/GMAT scores.
