What you’ll learn in this online project management degree
The curriculum in the project management degree is designed based on globally accepted professional standards developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI). In this program, you’ll complete simulations and other career-connected learning, ensuring you’re prepared for your next step.
Whereas the bachelor’s in organizational leadership with a concentration in project management emphasizes the leadership framework, this program focuses on the technical aspects and theories of project management. In your courses, you’ll learn how to use an analytical lens to approach:
- Cost estimation.
- Project execution.
- Project planning.

- Quality control.
Will I become a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with this degree?
No, earning this project management degree does not result in a PMP certification. However, upon completion of the project-management-specific coursework, you'll have the 23 education hours required to sit for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) credential and the 35 hours of education required to sit for the PMP certification exam.
Additionally, with 36 months of practical experience hours logged in your applied project, you’ll be one step closer to meeting the requirements to sit for the PMP certification exam. Holding both a bachelor’s in project management and PMP certification is the gold standard for companies and organizations filling project-related positions.
