George Washington University

The program brings real workplace examples to the classroom, integrating them into the overall curriculum. The program is not discipline-specific and focuses on no single technical domain. Our M.S. in project management was among the world’s first specialized degree programs of its kind. GW’s innovative program guides students in advanced project-management techniques and in balancing practice and theory so that they may become effective project managers. The program is ideal for managers seeking to more effectively integrate complex projects, motivate people, and achieve cost efficiency. To accommodate the needs of working professionals, courses are offered in the evenings on our Foggy Bottom Campus as well as via state-of-the-art distance learning.

Through cutting-edge technology, lectures are made available to distance students as quickly as 60 minutes after each on-campus class concludes. The recorded lectures are fully integrated into the University's mainframe. Students log on to watch the classes at their convenience. Class handouts, assignments, and other materials are mediated through Web-based course management software, both for distance and on-site learners. The graduate certificate will prepare students with the knowledge, diverse proficiencies, and skill sets required to succeed in a project environment.
