James Gray

Chesapeake, VA

Cohesive curriculum and self-paced learning mode helped make his project management career change a reality.

James Gray (MSM ’23) is a retired army veteran who decided to pursue a Master of Science in Management with the University of Management and Technology. Upon recommendation from a friend and subsequent investigation into the university's offerings, he found that UMT was a perfect fit for his academic goals. Having already earned a PMP certification, he chose UMT to further his education so he could pursue a career in project management.

As a very career-driven individual, James hopes that his degree in project management will give him the necessary skills and qualifications to achieve the career and salary he desires.

James found great satisfaction in the self-paced schedule of his courses and appreciated how each course correlated to each other and built on the previous one. He also expressed his gratitude towards UMT's staff for their exceptional customer service, guiding him throughout the process.

With such a positive overall experience under his belt, James recommended his friends to pursue their own educational goals at UMT. Thanks to UMT’s user friendly programs, helpful staff, and cohesive courses, James was able to achieve his academic aspirations and expand his knowledge in project management.

"Being a veteran, it’s hard to get assistance from bigger universities, like where I got my Bachelor’s, but UMT was really able to help me."
