Program Overview

Graduate Certificate in IT Project Management

The Certificate in IT Project Management provides information systems practitioners and business professionals with the fundamental knowledge needed to manage information technology projects. This certificate is awarded on completion of the required course work. Individuals may work on the certificate part-time without being formally enrolled in a degree program, or may complete it as a part of the M.S. degree in Management Information Systems or as part of the MBA degree program.

Entrance and Course Requirements

Students must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution and meet campus requirements for admission to graduate study. Candidates for the certificate will be expected to complete course requirements with a grade of B (3.0) or better (a grade of B- or lower is not acceptable).

Required Courses

• MIS 513: Management Information Systems (3 hours)
• MIS 552: System Analysis And Design (3 hours)
• MIS 573: Project and Change Management (3 hours)
  • Total Hours: 9
  • Notes:
    • If MIS 513 has been taken as part of another MIS graduate certificate, the student must substitute an additional UIS Management Information Systems course, not included as a required course in another certificate.
    • All MBA students may use MIS 525 as a substitute for MIS 513 since the course content for MIS 525 is the same as MIS 513.
