"The George Washington University's domestic and international appeal far surpassed other program offerings around the Washington, DC area. The curriculum has provided me with the opportunity to expand my professional knowledge as well as further my understanding of project management theory."
- Ron Schmelzer, MSPM Alumni, Washington, DC
The Project Management program brings realistic examples from the workplace to the classroom and integrates those examples into the overall curriculum. Professors conscientiously approach and discuss the solutions and analyses at the practical level. The program is discipline independent and focuses on no single technical domain, allowing students from a wide variety of backgrounds to benefit.
The curriculum encompasses personal and qualitative issues, as well as the technical, quantitative aspects of managing projects. Courses cover teamwork and team dynamics, helping students develop the skills necessary for tackling complex projects involving diverse perspectives. In most classes, students form teams to complete a substantial portion of the coursework, an invaluable experience for project managers.
The MSPM program is 36 credit hours long with semester-long and modular half-semester courses. Some students may be eligible for advanced academic standing, which allows them to complete the program with less than 36 credit hours.
