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."
