Project Management
Flourishing organizations everywhere utilize project management leaders to drive successful initiatives. “Full-cycle” Project Managers are in high demand and must be equipped with the skills, knowledge, and tools to oversee all aspects of a project so that everything flows seamlessly and the timeline, scope, and budget goals are met.
The Master of Project Management (MPM) from the Sever Institute at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis is designed to help you advance with the knowledge, leadership and skills needed to meet the multiple challenges of planning successful projects from inception.
From your first course and throughout the program, you will learn theories combined with real-world applications, strengthening your management acumen, collaborative problem solving, interpersonal communication and leadership competencies.

Curriculum
The 30-unit (10-course) part-time MPM is designed for working professionals in business, technology or other related fields.
A 15-unit (5-course) graduate certificate in project management is also available and can be transferred into the degree program at any time. A graduate certificate is an excellent option for individuals wishing to advance their careers, with a shorter time commitment than a degree.
MPM courses are available in evening and online formats, and are designed with input from employers, thought leaders and practitioners, and taught by leading professionals from throughout the industry.
Students learn how to demonstrate the value of project management, select and use the most appropriate agile and traditional project management techniques for any project, anticipate and manage risks, as well as identify and handle issues at the earliest signs. Students also learn to build teams, manage conflict, communicate effectively and lead. The curriculum also includes (optional) emphasis areas in data analytics, technology, organizational development and management, and operational excellence.
