Project Management, M.S.

Designed for professionals from diverse backgrounds seeking advanced leadership positions in the private, public, and military sectors, the master's in project management trains students for managerial positions where they assume responsibility for improving business performance.Because project management has become a business strategy of choice, this degree program develops skills and competencies in project management and in identified concentration areas such as operations research, information systems, or other areas of interest selected by the student. Graduates are empowered to become dynamic and effective project managers.All Florida Tech professors have doctorate degrees in management, information systems, or related fields, and many of them have been certified as Project Management Professionals through the Project Management Institute.

The applicant to the Master of Science in Project Management degree program must have a bachelor’s degree; however, the degree need not be in business administration. Students who are graduates from other fields, especially mathematics, science and engineering, are encouraged to apply. Students with an undergraduate business degree or courses may be able to waive up to 12 hours of the program prerequisites in the program based on an evaluation of their undergraduate academic transcripts. Prerequisite courses are required of a student whose undergraduate major is outside the business area or who has not previously completed the courses in these prerequisite areas. The exact number of needed prerequisite courses depends on courses completed during the student’s undergraduate studies. Applicants must have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.0 as an undergraduate in order to be considered for admission to a Florida Tech master's degree program. Transcripts from a non-US institution are internally recalculated to meet this threshold.Résumé/CV, transcripts
