Project Management Specialization
(formerly Project Management and Leadership)

With today's smaller budgets and tighter deadlines, IT project managers who can deliver the desired results, on time and on budget, are a valuable business resource, especially those with the advanced skills needed to oversee multiple projects spanning a range of geographic locations. This online Project Management master's specialization is mapped to "A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK) from the Project Management Institute (PMI®). Because Capella is a Registered Education Provider of the Project Management Institute (PMI), you can earn your master's degree from Capella and professional development units (PDUs) from PMI at the same time. People who choose this specialization are often pursuing management, director-level, or consulting positions overseeing and managing technology projects and teams.

Credit for prior learning may save you substantial time and money.

Don't relearn what you already know. Certifications like the PMP® may position you to use Capella's Prior Learning Assessment process to demonstrate skills and knowledge that match the competencies of specific courses in your degree program.** Your enrollment counselor can provide details.
