Curriculum

Leadership Workshop: Understanding Yourself & Your Teams for Better Results

This seminar will discuss using strength based competencies to positively affect your career, your leadership and your teams. We will explore your personal strengths and competencies and how to think about them within your own career. We will also explore how to use competencies in leadership to get the best out of the individual, build effective teams and deliver on your business objectives. Self-assessments will be incorporated and its application to leadership.

Project Launch

The key elements at the Front End of the Project (FEOTP) determine the project’s overall and final success. Learn to define and accomplish the scope, create effective communication plans, and understand the needs of the stakeholders — among the most critical aspects of project management.

Project Scheduling

Increasing efficiency with limited available resources is critical in today’s fast-track business environment. Gain an understanding of fundamentals of project planning with the use of scheduling software and a simulation project (Project Plan) that will allow you to establish project requirements, objectives, and goals.

Project Planning

Tackle the challenge of project planning. Learn to estimate time and cost, plan for project risk, create a schedule and budget using both traditional and Agile methods and define procurement needs and quality metrics. We practice the five P’s: Project Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

Project Execution

The majority of resources are utilized during a project’s implementation stage. Good planning can help you cope with changes and unexpected issues. Examine techniques to effectively report status, control a project, survey Earned Value Management techniques and manage issues that arise during projects.

Global Aspects of Project Management

Today, many companies in all industries and verticals have workers dispersed around the globe, which creates project management challenges. Learn how to manage and lead a culturally and geographically diverse team.

Project Practicum With Multiple Projects

Students will apply project planning concepts to a simulated project, create a resource plan for multiple projects, build a master schedule for multiple projects and deal with

project issues under typical business constraints.

Internships

As an optional last course and for an additional fee of $2,900, you have the opportunity to apply academic theory and gain practical experience in a variety of businesses and industries for 10 weeks. A research project provides additional training. Also included in the internship is the Résumé Writing and Interviewing Skills workshop.
