Executive Certificate in Project Management (15-credit)
 
UMT's Executive Certificate in Project Management is a 15-credit graduate level program that focuses on the core project management courses contained in a typical master's level program, without covering supplemental management courses. It is comprised of five academic courses that when taken together, cover the entire project management discipline, offering students insights into what the Project Management Institute (PMI) categorizes as technical expertise (i.e., PM tools and techniques), professional behavior (i.e., organizational and people-oriented issues), and strategic awareness (i.e., accommodating the business elements of project management). Each of the courses in the program is compliant with the project management standards promulgated by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

Because the Executive Certificate courses offer graduate level academic credit, students may be able to have them accepted for credit in academic programs of degree-conferring institutions, depending on the credit-transfer policies of these institutions. Also, as academic courses, each can be listed as a 45 PDU offering.

This academic program is accredited by the PMI Global Accreditation Center for Project Management Education Programs (GAC). Click here for the PMI annual student achievement report for this and other UMT academic programs accredited by the GAC.
