Project Management Degree

Degree Overview

The Bellevue University Master of Project Management (MPM) is a nationally recognized applied project management master's degree. Our MPM is a terminal degree, the highest degree awarded in the field, and may offer deeper learning than a general project management masters' degree.

As a candidate for our online Master of Project Management degree, you will gain advanced training from PMP-certified faculty for managing large projects in real-world scenarios. You'll examine a project’s conception, planning, budgeting, resource allocation, and implementation. By the end of the program, you’ll understand how to balance competing demands, build and manage a team, and lead projects - from complex projects for global companies to the fulfillment of consulting contracts.

Completion of this degree may open up doors in consultancy, business analysis and management, analytics, and business development. In today's competitive global and virtual environments, the MPM degree will expand your project management and leadership skill set across disciplines.

In the MPM project-based curriculum, business case studies and simulations are integrated into the classroom, bringing lessons to life. You will be able to:

• Connect your technical skills and expertise with critical communication and leadership skills
• Practice scholarly research, data collection and analysis, and other academic methods
• Make use of emerging trends such as agile or scrum techniques to successfully manage and move complex projects through the lifecycle
