What is Project Management?

Project management is the application of knowledge, skills and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently. It’s a strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals — and thus, better compete in their markets.

The development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building or bridge, the relief effort after a natural disaster, the expansion of sales into a new geographic market — all are projects that must be expertly managed to deliver the on-time, on-budget results, learning and integration that organizations need.

Why Choose a GAC Accredited Program?

Choosing a project management program is no easy task. While there are many factors to consider, an important one is GAC accreditation.

GAC accreditation is a testament that the program:

  • Demonstrates a commitment to academic quality and excellence
  • Meets global accreditation standards
  • Prepares students to enter the workforce
