A Word From the Department Chair

Your ability to differentiate yourself from the pack is essential to your career success. Project and Quality Management professional certifications can enable you to stand out from the crowd in today’s highly competitive job market.

Salary surveys by the American Society of Quality and the Project Management Institute indicated that employees with quality or project certifications had significantly higher earning potential than those without.

The United Nations has predicted that over 100,000 newly trained, certified project managers will need to be hired for U.N. project services worldwide over the next five years. Both India and China now view quality and project management as mission critical to their success over the next decade.
