Project and Program
Management
“The curriculum was challenging and
real-world related. The principles
of project management I learned
can really be applied to almost any
field and aspect of life, but my new
knowledge gave me the confidence to
start my own business and apply project
management tools and techniques
to non-traditional fields. I loved the
flexibility of the classes, and was able
to complete my degree from across the
country.”
— Michelle Welsh, GPS Student
