Program Objective:

To provide a thorough understanding of the principles, skills and practical applications involved in the effective management of any project, from start to finish.

Program Description:

Organizations in every industry are looking for qualified professionals with project management skills, according to research conducted by the Anderson Economic Group.* In two years, you could earn an online master’s degree that will give you the skills you need to supervise complex projects … expedite communication between the team and decision makers … maintain the budget … and manage resources to ensure the timely completion of any project. In addition, this program, as well as Post University’s Registered Educational Provider status with the Project Management Institute (PMI)®, help you fulfill certification requirements to sit for professional exams, including:

• Project Management Professional (PMP)®
• Professional Scrum Master (PSM)

Program Outcomes:

Upon graduation, you will receive a Master of Science in Project Management, preparing you with the skills you need to pursue a management career in any industry in a variety of roles — from project coordinator, scheduler and manager to Scrum master and IT manager.

Additionally, because of Post’s Registered Educational Provider status with the Project Management Institute (PMI), our students can count their courses as part of their Professional Development Units (PDUs) needed to take the PMP Exam.

Post University does not guarantee certification, and there are certification requirements outside of education. It is ultimately the responsibility of individual students to be in charge of their own certification process and to make sure that all requirements are met in obtaining certification. Post University does not speak on behalf of any licensing board or body.
