Project management is found across the private, public, and military sectors – especially within information technology. CSU's IT project management training provides a deep understanding of the 10 knowledge areas required by the Project Management Institute (PMI)®, as well as information management courses, agile project management training, and other special IT topics.

The credits completed as part of this certificate may be applied toward the degree after formal admission per University transfer policies with a grade of B or better in each course. However, successful completion of the courses or certificate does not guarantee admission to the degree program.
PMI, PMP, and CAPM are registered marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc.
You must be admitted to this program for the certificate to appear on your official University transcript.
Courses may be taken concurrently or sequentially, with the exception of CIS 670 which has a prerequisite of CIS 600A.
