New Project Management Program to be Offered This Fall
Why Project Management?
We have become a society of schedulers and planners. As people find themselves scheduled in every aspect of life, the need to integrate and coordinate is more important than ever.
Additionally, organizations in a variety of industries are moving toward teams, specifically project teams, and the need to work in the most collaborative, deliberate, and efficient manner is becoming the norm. Project Management has become a valuable skill-set.
There are currently more than 420,000 members and credential holders within the Project Management Institute (PMI), the premier credentialing body for Project Management. Per their site, PMI indicates "a shortage of 6 million skilled project professionals is expected by 2013. Of the 20 million people participating in projects worldwide, just 1 million have professionally recognized formal training on how to best execute those projects. One thing becomes clear: the demand for skilled project managers is at a critically urgent level" *
Why Bellevue University
As a leader in adult education, Bellevue University is proud to design programs that meet the needs of today’s leading employers. By creating this program, our goal is to assist professionals in obtaining the formal training needed to not only become better educated project managers, but to sit for the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam to obtain certification. PMP certification has become the most recognizable and sought-after credential world-wide for project managers. It is from this vision that the program was developed and will soon begin admitting students in the fall.
