B.B.A. Project Management

 

Why study Project Management?
We’re proud to offer one of the only college degree programs focused specifically on Project Management in the US.


What is it?
Project management is the process of leading the work of a team to achieve goals and meet success criteria at a specified time within the given constraints. The B.B.A. Project Management concentration is intended to provide students with key skills for project managers creating students who are able to take on a variety of project and program management tasks within an organization. By the end of their major students will be ready and confident to undertake the PMI Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) certification.

Why is it practical?
The objective of the program is help grads start a project management role upon completion with minimal onboarding. The median salary for Project Managers is $112,000.

Why is it unique or exciting?
Project Management might sound like a basic skill, but it is one of the biggest skills gaps in the country right now and needed in almost every industry. According to a recent study, employers will need to fill an average of 2.2 million new project-oriented roles each year through 2027.

 


Needed skills
Project Managers are in high demand, but very few new graduates possess the necessary skills to do the job. You will.

 

Well-rounded
A good Project Manager knows a little about a lot. Learn strategy, programming, leadership, business theory and more—and learn how to bring it all together.
