The mission of the Center is threefold:
1. To provide a high quality, challenging education in project management that encompasses breadth and depth; and prepare graduates to be proficient as both contributing members of project teams and excellent project managers.
2. To maintain a strong research program that is recognized for excellence in project management.
3. To provide project management training & development service to the University, the profession, and the community at large.
Our academic program was the first program in an engineering school to be accredited by the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Global Accreditation Center. We are also designated by PMI as a “Global Registered Educational Provider". Our on-line graduate program continues to grow at a rapid pace since it was introduced in 2006 and filled over 400 seats in 2011.
PMI is looking for proposals from scholars, both within and outside the field of project management, including management, organizational psychology, sociology of formal organizations, education, linguistics and others. Submit your research proposals to PMI. Learn more.
