The globalization of the world economy has brought an increasing need for interdisciplinary teams that can work together to accomplish complex business objectives. The Project Management Diploma Program gives students a solid professional foundation to manage this need. This highly interactive and academically rigorous program helps students develop the skills necessary to keep businesses and commercial projects on task, on time, and on budget. The program combines practical applications with proven techniques to teach students to analyze international projects, manage related business risks, and apply successful management methods.
Students also learn to build and lead project teams in a cross-cultural environment.
There are no prerequisites for this program other than a bachelor's degree. Applicants who already have project management familiarity should consider Diploma Programs in Business Administration, Marketing, or Computer Information Systems. The fee is scheduled to be in effect through spring 2001, but is subject to change without notice. In this course, students develop the skills required to plan, implement, and meet project goals. The course gives students an effective management plan that serves as a baseline for monitoring project progress, identifying variances and taking timely action to deal with problems and opportunities.
