Project Management Tracks
Designed for professionals at every stage of their career, the Project Management Program offers both a skill-building certificate pathway and a dedicated certification-preparation option - allowing learners to choose the path that best aligns with their goals.
While the Project Management program is designed around certificate pathways, all courses, including PMP® Exam Prep, may also be taken individually for professional development, certification maintenance, or skill-building. Students are not required to take courses in a certain order.
Students may also complete more than one certificate. Please see the FAQ on how courses may be utilized for more than one certificate.
You can also contact our Enrollment Advisers if you need help making a decision.
