The most successful project manager is well versed in the technical soft skills of communication and team leadership, very equipped in the hard skills of quantitative analysis to solve project problems, and poised to communicate complex issues to a host of project stakeholders to drive decision making. Courses are designed so that upon completion, students will achieve the following academic outcomes:
1. Perform generally accepted project management techniques to plan and execute projects.
2. Apply analytical tools for problem solving and effective project decision making.
3. Apply ethical behavior and communications skills within the project team environment.

The Bachelor of Science in Project Management program relies heavily on use of current Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) software and other common-use software for word processing, presentation, and computation. While the use of some of these PMIS programs will be the subject of learning exercises within the program, the successful student will be expected to show proficient skill in word processing, spreadsheet usage, and presentation graphics.
