The PMP/CAPM Project Management Professional program is designed to prepare students who currently contribute to project teams in various ways, in a variety of job roles, to advance their careers. The students will move from tasks such as providing subject matter expertise (e.g., marketing, finance, customer care, processing, and fulfillment) and serving as project team sponsors, facilitators, liaisons, or coordinators, to functioning as successful project managers.
Students who complete the PMP/CAPM Project Management Professional program will be prepared to pass either the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam or the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) exam. These are both standardized exams in project management terminology and processes, created and administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI®).
