Overview
The Graduate Certificate in Project Management is uniquely different from the Master’s Degree in Project Management or the MBA with a specialization in Project Management in two areas: The focus of a Graduate Certificate in Project Management is on strategic outcomes rather than organizational strategic outcomes, and certificate courses are aligned principally to the core processes and knowledge areas found in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).
