Career Advancement for Current Professionals
The Master of Science in Project Management is designed for current professionals familiar with the project environment. The proposed curriculum is based upon the offerings from current professionally accredited project management programs and established professional guidelines while maintaining the people-centered leadership approach applied by all Stender School of Business and Technology graduate programs.
Program Mission
The Stender School of Business and Technology follows a mission statement where leaders are developed to embody the values of the school and demonstrate ethical decision-making, social responsibility, global awareness, and professional excellence. The Master of Science in Project Management graduate program seeks to prepare students for a career in project management and develop students as leaders in a manner that fulfills the school’s mission.
The Master of Science in Project Management prepares students to be proficient in the skills and techniques of project management, embody the college’s Catholic Benedictine values as a leader in successful global projects, and possess the vision needed to align projects with organizational priorities.
Capstone Project
The capstone project is an in-depth research project that assimilates knowledge from prior courses with findings from current literature of the selected topic area. Students will perform a literature review, problem analysis and propose a solution to the defined problem. Once complete, the project is approved by a project advisor and published. Students are also required to give an on-site oral presentation of their capstone project.
Cohort Model
Students progress through the courses as a cohort beginning with the fundamental core courses and continue through the advanced and global courses as they conclude with a capstone project. The sequencing of the courses is important since mastery of the topics in the fundamental courses are required for proper application in the advanced courses. As a result, students must progress through the fundamental courses before proceeding on to the more advanced project management courses.
