The Project Management Certificate program consists of 6 courses (5 required and 1 elective). The program can be completed in as little as 6 months full time or up to a year and a half if you take one course per quarter. The courses are listed on the website in the order we recommend taking them. However, these are only recommendations and students can take courses in any order they would like.
The Project Management Certificate program is designed to support learners at different stages of their professional journey. If you are new to project management, we recommend starting with the fundamentals course that introduces core project management concepts, terminology, and best practices. If you already have project management experience, you may have flexibility in selecting courses that align with your goals.
