Why study project management?

A degree in project management equips you with versatile, highly marketable skills that drive success in any industry. Project managers are essential to organizational growth — overseeing budgets, schedules, resources, risks and teams to ensure projects of all sizes move efficiently from concept to completion.

The Project Management Institute (PMI) projects a global need for 25 million new project management professionals by 2030. In Arizona, fast-growing sectors like construction, health care and semiconductor manufacturing are already experiencing this talent gap.

Whether pursued alone or alongside another degree, our programs prepare you with in-demand expertise and pathways to certification — opening doors to diverse career opportunities. This is an ideal field for strong communicators who are organized, analytical, collaborative and driven to lead.
