FAQs
These courses are offered at the graduate level. The project management courses are the same price as our other course offerings at this level and vary depending on online or face-to-face. Graduate students will complete graduate level assignments and are also required to conduct research in the area of project management.
Unfortunately, financial aid is not available for any type of certificate program; students must be degree-seeking. If you want to complete these certificate courses you will need to do so as part of one of our programs to receive financial aid.
The courses are offered regularly during our standard terms – Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Start dates vary depending on the calendar year. Please visit http://www.bellevue.edu/degrees/schedule/class-schedule.aspx for our most recent academic calendar.
The classes are offered both online and in the classroom.
Students are required to take the foundation course first (CIS 633). After that, students can take the remaining 2 required courses together or separately. Depending on course availability students can finish the program in two terms or in three terms by taking one class each term.
You can jump right into the program without having to take any other courses. The only requirement is that you take the foundation course, CIS 633 before any of the other courses.
These courses are designed to provide you with the foundations as well as the ability to apply them in practice. You will be more knowledgeable in project management as well as the principles found in the A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide). However, because the exam requires in depth knowledge of the PMBOK® Guide, it is recommended that you take a PMP® prep course prior to the exam.
