Master of Science in Project Management

The Master of Science in Project Management (MSPM) degree at the GW School of Business adopts a systems-oriented approach to project management focused on both hard skills (such as project management analytics) and soft skills (which prepare our graduates to make complex decisions, manage risk, and lead project teams). This complementary approach is critical for success in the field.

The MSPM program is offered in three modes: online, on-campus and hybrid. The online version of the program is not prerecorded, instead, the lecture presented to on-campus students will be recorded, shared with online students, and followed by a live/synchronous class session. This allows us to offer our online students the same program as our on-campus students. The MSPM program was ranked #9 in the 2023 Best Project Management MBA Programs rankings published by U.S. News & World Report.

Our MSPM degree is not only STEM-designated but also accredited by the Project Management Institute (PMI), equipping students with everything they need for a successful career in project management and positioning them to succeed in any role that requires data-driven decision making and the ability to lead both technical and non-technical teams. Students on an F-1 visa are eligible for an additional 25 months of optional practical training (OPT) as well, giving them valuable work experience.

Applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university. Applicants who have earned their degrees outside of the US must hold degrees from institutions in compliance with their national standards.
