Blended Master of Science in Computer Information Systems concentration in IT Project Management

CNSS and PMI Accreditation - Logos

Particularly valuable for those engaged in the administration of technical projects, the blended, eLive Master of Science in Computer Information Systems concentration in IT Project Management introduces general concepts embodied in the Project Management Institute’s PMBOK, while exploring specialized techniques for software risk management, software cost estimation, and software quality management. Students also learn virtual project management, enabling them to manage geographically distributed software development. Students taking any course in this concentration are eligible to take a PMP® preparation course for free—an important step toward certification as Project Management Professionals.

A total of 40 credits is required. Students must complete both the Core Curriculum and the Concentration Requirements.
