Capstone experience and graduate certificate

Learners in the program are all professionals. For this reason, the program gives them the opportunity to use their own work-related experience to carry out a project or initiative that focuses on a specialized area that interests them the most, and that they can immediately implement.

The capstone experience applies and integrates what learners have gained from their coursework to large-scale projects and real-world environments.

Learners also have the option to complete an online Project and Program Management Graduate certificate, which provides the foundations for project and program management over the course of 24 credits. The certificate can be taken over the course of one semester full time, or over a year part time.
