Course Descriptions

The Project Management Certificate Program is a structured series of noncredit courses that help prepare students for careers in planning and business. This program is designed for employees from organizations involved in engineering, research and development, health care, data processing, construction, facilities management, manufacturing, corporate planning, finance, and marketing.

These four courses will help enhance skills of technical competence and practical applications. A Penn State noncredit certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the four required courses taken in sequential order.

PJMGT 5000 - Project Initiation and Planning

The first course in the project management certificate program addresses the role of the project manager; organizational structures; the project life cycle; the project office; leadership; project selection criteria; the project planning process, objectives, scope, benefits, and strategies; as well as project planning, constraints, assumptions, exclusions, milestones, communications, and closeout criteria.

PJMGT 5001 - Project Scheduling and Integration

This dynamic, hands-on course can provide students with the knowledge and ability to take a project plan and develop a schedule of the work needed to deliver the project objectives. The students can learn about developing a work breakdown structure, developing tasks, networking these tasks together, and analyzing the resulting schedule.

PJMGT 5002 - Project Costing and Control

The third course in the Project Management Certificate program focuses on selection criteria, procurement, cost estimating, and control mechanisms.

PJMGT 5003 - Project Risk and Change Management

The final course in the Project Management Certificate program addresses risk and change management, team responsibilities, conflicts, quality, ethics, and closeout.

 

Project Management Professional Certification (PMP®)

This program of four courses meets the 35-hour education requirement to sit for the Project Management Institute’s PMP® exam. Our program is designed for participants who are interested in pursuing Project Management expertise by understanding the basics of project management terminology, and how to set realistic expectations with project teams, build schedules, allocate resources, lead change, and manage budgets.
