Master in Project Management (MPM)

The Master of Project Management will be delivered on campus. For Full time students, the study period that a student must spend in the MPM Program is 18 months (3 regular semesters) and starts in the Fall or Spring semesters of the academic year up to a maximum period of 4 academic years.

To accommodate part-time students, offer a flexible course load that allows students to enroll in fewer courses per semester, with evening and weekend classes available to accommodate working professionals. Extend the program duration to 3-4 years instead of the standard 1.5-year track, providing students with the flexibility to complete their degree at a manageable pace. Additionally, implement a per-credit-hour tuition structure and offer an extended timeline for thesis or capstone completion, allowing students up to 2 additional years to finish research components, helping them balance work and study effectively.
