Why Teach Project Management?

"Project Management is the entrepreneurial side of business...For people with a strong interest in strategic business activities, like creating and developing business opportunities, allocating appropriate levels of resources, and managing risk at the business portfolio level, a Project Management degree is probably the best. Students in our Project Management programs are prepared to take senior executive positions in business development."

The fact that US $12 trillion, 1/5 of the world's gross domestic product (GDP), is being spent on projects this year reflects the global need for project management. A critical gap between the supply and demand of skilled project professionals is already reaching crisis proportions.

This world of need represents a world of opportunity for your institution, your faculty and students.
