The graduate certificate in project management, offered through Saint Louis University's School for Professional Studies, is a 12-hour program that focuses on the management and decision-making skills necessary to be successful at leading projects in a variety of settings.

Project-based learning and class simulators prepare you to promote the widespread applicability of the five basic project management processes as outlined in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®): initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. As part of the School for Professional Studies, SLU Online's 12-credit project management program offers strategy-minded professionals like you a flexible option to meet your personal career goals. If you have obtained an undergraduate degree or higher, you may pursue a stand-alone certificate in project management. All courses are offered in eight-week terms, making advanced education more accessible for working professionals. If you complete the certificate, you also have the option of applying to the Master of Science in Project Management program and, if accepted, have all of the certificate credits count towards the master's degree.
