Master of Project Management On Campus   The Master of Project Management (MPM) program, which leads to an M.S. degree from the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, is designed to prepare technically qualified individuals for responsible management roles in the construction, operation, and management of major civil and environmental engineering projects. Unlike a traditional engineering graduate program, the MPM program offers the practical business perspective needed by project managers. In contrast to traditional MBA programs, the MPM program emphasizes planning and design skills that are specifically required in project-based organizations and encourages students to build on their technical backgrounds and experience. The program's custom-designed mix of courses stresses management concepts and complements students' existing technical expertise. Students who complete the MPM program are prepared to direct major public and private projects in the increasingly complicated managerial environment of today's infrastructure facilities. The MPM program is based on a multidisciplinary approach to combine the essential components of civil engineering design with the functional concepts of business management and behavioral science to develop a versatile and technically oriented individual capable of directing complex civil engineering projects. Some of the courses comprising the curriculum are selected from the regular offerings of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences, and the Kellogg Graduate School of Management, but a number of specialized courses are designed to satisfy the particular objectives of this program.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's degree in civil engineering, architecture, or closely related field.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements TOEFL  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: No Clinical Internship: No   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 5738  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 2082  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $3963  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $33408  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
