Mission Statement

The mission for the MBA in Project Management program at Florida Institute of Technology is to develop graduates that possess technical proficiency in project management along with strong leadership skills and strategic vision that will lead to successful projects.

The MBA in Project Management at the Nathan M. Bisk College of Business is designed to provide a well-rounded, high quality educational experience to prepare graduates for a variety of careers in the project management in a global business environment.

In support of the MBA degree in Project Management, the college:

  • provides foundational knowledge in all areas of business and exposes students to leadership challenges combined with project management strategy and decision making
  • continuously improves curricula, maintained to industry and PMI standards, and responsive to a rapidly changing global workforce
  • fosters intellectual growth and skills needed to manage complex projects in a rapidly evolving environment
  • serves society through courses and content that target the needs of working professionals and traditional college students, encouraging a culturally diverse student experience; and 
  • builds effective partnerships with university stakeholders to further program excellence and lifelong learning.

Potential Students

Applicants for the Master of Business Administration in Project Management must have a bachelor’s degree; however, the degree need not be in business administration. Applicants who are graduates of non-business programs are also encouraged to apply. The admissions decision is based on a review of the application documentation including work experience, academic performance, references and written statement of purpose. Although taking the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is not a requirement, it is highly recommended for admission consideration. Individuals who take the GMAT and obtain a satisfactory score can compensate for other criteria in their application (such as academic performance or work experience). Preference for graduate scholarships will be given to applicants who take the GMAT.
