Intended Outcome: Through our courses, graduates will meet the minimum educational and PM experience requirement to sit for the prestigious PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) certification exam.
Students must be formally accepted into the MPM program and meet all graduation criteria outlined in this Catalog. Matriculated students must successfully complete the total of 34 credit hours listed above and maintain a 3.0 grade point average to graduate. If the student falls below a 3.0 grade point average, the student will be required to retake the most recent courses and to pay additional tuition. Under such circumstances, the most recent grades achieved are counted toward the cumulative GPA. Students may repeat each course only once. Students who have not been able to raise their grade point average to at least a 3.0 after re-taking a course will be dismissed from the program. Graduation is not automatic upon completion of requirements. All students are required to complete and submit an Application to Graduate to the President, along with the requisite fees.
