On-line Courses and Training

Project Management

Large and small organizations and governments use project management to standardize and reduce the tasks necessary to complete a project in the most effective and efficient manner. Villanova University's Professional Education Certificate Program offers four on-line courses of study in this area: Essentials of Project Management (which includes a class on Issues in Project Risk Management), Mastering Project Management, Advanced Strategic Project Management, and PMP® Prep (preparation for the certification exam offered by the Project Management Institute®). Students who complete three of these courses (or two courses plus the Finance & Accounting for the Non-cFinancial Manager course) will attain a Master Certificate in Applied Project Management. For more information, go to the homepage of Villanova University's Professional Education Online. (Posted September 2003.)
