A Powerful Degree in an Attractive Career Field
It’s hard to deny its attractiveness. Project managers earn an average salary of $80,200, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and you could expect even more with the right education and experience. The top 10% make at least $128,420.
Also consider where project managers work. All industries and companies need project managers who can take care of the planning, execution and measurement of all aspects of a given project. You could work or specialize in diverse fields like healthcare, technology, construction, engineering, education and many others.
Develop advanced knowledge of approaches, techniques and leadership skills you need to thrive in this career with the Master of Professional Students (MPS) in Project Management. MPS programs focus on professional competency and practical skills for online, part-time learners with busy schedules. So instead of the theory and research you might find more prominently in Master of Arts (M.A.) or Master of Science (M.S.) programs, you’ll focus on the skills you need to make an immediate impact.
