The College Network Offers Online Project Management Degree
The College Network ( http://www.college-net.com) partners with universities across the country to provide on line degrees--undergraduate, graduate and certificate programs like the one through Boston University for Project Management.
I am the local program advisor in Reno and want to inform local companies of the programs we offer for their staff. The project management certificate allows individuals to take individual certificate programs in project management or all three certificates and sit for the PMP exam. The courses also earn ACE, CEU and PDU credits.
In additional to Boston University being the only academic institution represented on PMI's Corporate Council, the courses are taught in several unique learning formats depending on how the individual learns the best.
