Project Management Center of Excellence Faculty & Board

Our project management teaching faculty in the Center are professional practitioners in their fields who can share real-world experiences. The majority of our faculty have obtained a doctorate, are published scholars, have earned the Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification or other project management credential, and have over a decade of teaching and project management experience across diverse industries.

Our curriculum follows an applied-learning approach to project management. This teaching approach offers you the benefits of integrating business scenarios and simulations into the classroom, bringing case studies to life, and of learning from practitioner faculty who provide you mentorship and coaching. You will leave this program with more than just a degree: you will have gained an extensive professional network and a life changing experience that will prepare you for a valuable and respected career.
