Project Management students think:

Beth Pappas Franssen: "Stevens' program was a key factor in preparing me for my new position. The real-life case studies we followed in class added valuable reference experience for me. Thank you again for the challenge!"

Julia Howe, Project Management Graduate Certificate alumnus: "Stevens has a very comprehensive project management curriculum. Entrepreneurs and programmers alike would benefit from taking project management classes just to help them develop a sense for breaking complex, multidisciplinary jobs down and planning projects more strategically. The program at Stevens helped prepare me for the Project Management Professional/Proficiency Exam, and I passed on the first try."

Whether delivering products or services, all organizations need to meet project deadlines, budgets, and stakeholder expectations. To maintain customer satisfaction and meet customer expectations, no room exists for project errors or delays.

Student Testimonial:

"The Crossing the Chasm text was also on the reading list but it is good to have a refresher in its concepts. These ideas are highly relevant to developing a Project Strategy to drive business value through achieving competitive advantage.

This is where the Stevens curriculum really stands out. MGT 614 and MGT 610 are my seventh and eighth grad courses in project management respectively. I did not expect to be exposed to any really new concepts. 610 and 614 changed that idea in a hurry.

When you think about it, Project Strategy and Project Value Management make so much sense, you wonder why they weren't proposed a long time ago. This is cutting edge stuff and sets Stevens apart.

My decision to enroll here was probably one of the best I will ever make."
