About Project Management at the Worldwide & Online Campus
In today’s complex, global business environment, an organization’s efficiency is often what sets it apart from the rest. With a Bachelor of Science in Project Management, you can get a solid foundation for project management work in sectors like technology, healthcare, global infrastructure, renewable energy and finance.
Having a strong grasp of concepts such as cost, human resources, stakeholder management, procurement and risk management fostered by a curriculum developed entirely by certified PMPs® gives project managers the tools needed to make effective and efficient decisions.
Project Management students who wish to continue on to a master's degree may enroll in courses in the 4+1 option, which allows students to complete their master’s degree in one year after finishing their bachelor’s degree.
From developing transformative technologies to launching bold new products, companies in every industry need projects delivered on time and on budget with minimal friction. Project managers have the opportunity to work on leading-edge ventures in fields of their choice. And the need for the expertise of these project leaders is only growing.
As one of the few undergraduate degree programs in this dynamic field, the Embry-Riddle Bachelor of Science in Project Management (BSPM) will help you master the skills to lead the new projects and strategic initiatives that keep companies ahead of the curve. The project management curriculum was developed entirely by certified PMPs®, industry leaders who possess the recognized global standard for project management knowledge and experience issued by the Project Management Institute® (PMI) – the worldwide leader in the development of standards for the dynamic profession of Project Management.
BSPM graduates will be equipped to manage, drive and execute on vital projects required by companies today and in the future. They will also be prepared to pursue certification or continue on with higher education.
Project Management students who wish to continue on to a master's degree may enroll in courses in the 4+1 option outlined in this program. ( BSPM to MSPM 4+1 option discontinued effective 1/1/2019)

BSPM-MSPM 4+1 Program
(BSPM to MSPM 4+1 option discontinued effective 1/1/2019)
Students who are accepted in the 4 + 1 program, spend three academic years in undergraduate-level study and then, during their senior year, will take up to three graduate-level courses that will meet the undergraduate 400 level elective and graduate program core requirements (when a B grade or better is achieved). Upon completion of the BSPM requirements, students will be enrolled in graduate school and can complete their degree in one year. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of B or better must be earned. If a grade of C or F is earned in any of the courses taken in lieu of 400 level elective credits, the student will be removed from the program, have credit awarded to the BSPM degree only, and may continue to complete the BSPM degree. Students will use the virtual forms application site to work through the application, recommendation, and approval process.
