Program Description

The Master of Business Administration degree with a major in Project Management prepares students to design solutions and strategies for complex business problems and opportunities within organizations by integrating critical analysis with project management practice and organizational strategy to ensure success. Students participating in this program desire additional study in order to expand and enhance their ability to contribute to their career path, company, and society. This program allows students to be engaged in working in a paid or non-paid position, (provided this employment is appropriate for a training opportunity, considering the goals and requirements of the degree program), which may include current employment in a full- or part-time professional position, participation in job shadowing, or participation in an internship. Additionally, the program provides a foundation for future employment to extend the academic experience with practical training as noted above.

Students will synthesize ethical standards in decision making and strategy development and create appropriate cross-cultural communication strategies to achieve organization goals. Personal leadership capabilities will be evaluated and plans for continual growth will be designed. A biblical framework that guides interactions within project management and strategy development will be integrated throughout the program of study. Note: Students with a current Project Management Professional (PMP) certification will not need to take PROJ-610, PROJ-620, PROJ-630, PROJ-640, PROJ-650 and PROJ-660.
