The Master of Business Administration Program with a Concentration in Project Management is offered by Herzing University online to individuals seeking careers that involve directing specialist teams tasked to handle different assignments such as development of a new product or construction of a new building. Project managers must be able to plan, budget as well as coordinate efforts of all people involved in a task, aside form having the essential understanding of what needs to be done. Employers are seeking people with a bachelor’s degree in a particular field such as business, engineering or computer information systems but also have the advantage of possessing a Master’s Degree in Project Management.

The program’s length can either be forty-two (42) or forty-five (45) semester credit hours depending on whether or not the required course in Business Fundamentals can be waived. Students who request for it may be granted exemption if they hold a bachelor’s degree with a business major or minor. Other required MBA courses include Leadership and Organizational Behavior, Research and Decision Making, Marketing, Accounting for Managers, Information Systems and Technology, Operations and Project Management, Business and Labor Law, Finance, Strategic Planning, and the Graduate Capstone Project. Required Concentration Courses consist of Contract and Procurement, Advanced Project Management, Project Cost and Schedule Control, and Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

More opportunities are opened up for individuals equipped with an in-depth knowledge of a specific field of expertise when they combine this with strong academic credentials such as the master’s degree in business administration. Possible career options include positions as Financial Manager, Engineering Manager, Construction Manager, or Computer and Information Systems Manager. Applicants should have earned a bachelor’s degree. Although business experience is not a prerequisite, it can help students understand the subject matter better.
