The Bachelor of Applied Science program in project management offers a skills-driven curriculum that prepares you to be an excellent project manager.
You acquire the skills you need to ensure the progress and successful completion of complex projects: project leadership, project quality management, project risk management, project schedule management, project cost management and project resource management.
You also explore the skills and knowledge that leaders employ when they organize diverse teams, evaluate ethical situations, innovate, solve problems, communicate effectively, assess leadership and organizational effectiveness, manage resources and use emerging technologies.
Why specialize in project management at ASU?
At ASU, your coursework centers on leadership rather than the engineering or construction focus that shapes similar degrees offered across the country.
