BSPM graduates will be equipped to lead, manage, and execute on vital projects required by companies today and in the future. They will also be prepared to pursue certification or continue on with higher education.

The Bachelor of Science in Project Management is accredited by the PMI Global Accreditation Center for Project Management Education Programs (GAC).
