The certification requires a combination of academic coursework in project management and the successful completion of a three-hour, 150-question certification exam.
Seniors in a spring semester project management capstone course now have a distinction that helps set them apart as they pursue their first career opportunities: Certified Associate in Project Management.
Certification from the Project Management Institute, the world’s leading project management organization with nearly 700,000 members, requires a combination of academic coursework in project management and completion of a three-hour, 150-question exam.
Taught by Professor Matt Valle, the Project Management Seminar is a culminating experience in the project management major offered by the Department of Management and Entrepreneurships. Elon University project management graduates in prior years have pursued advanced degrees and, once into their careers, advanced project management certifications.
“Many employers report a shortage of qualified project managers,” said Professor Matt Valle, director of the project management program in the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business. “They struggle to find skilled, qualified applicants to fill their project management positions. Certification helps close the gap because certifications like the CAPM are a credible, third-party assessment of one’s knowledge and skill for project work.”
“We include the CAPM certification process as part of the project management major because we want to signal to employers that our graduates are ‘work-ready’ upon graduation.” – Professor Matt Valle
