Master of Business Administration (MBA)

School of Business and Technology

Project Management Specialization

In today’s competitive business environment, in which technology skills are often outsourced, many businesses consider skills related to project management and business capabilities as critical to keep in-house. This Project Management MBA specialization, based on the knowledge areas established by the Project Management Institute (PMI), is designed to sharpen your project management skills, including project planning, risk management, and project procurement. Through core business courses, you will also strengthen your overall business acumen to build the perspective you need to interact effectively with other managers to meet business goals. A capstone course allows you to apply your skills in planning, managing, and controlling the process to complete the project on time and on budget. People who choose this specialization are often pursuing project management, director-level, or consulting positions, especially those that are more business than IT-focused.
