This program equips you with the knowledge required for Project Management Professional^® (PMP^®) certification while offering a comprehensive education in project management, with an emphasis on operations research.

In addition to core project management skills, you'll develop a solid foundation in broader business concepts, with a focus on ethics and social responsibility. You'll learn to collect, analyze and interpret data for informed decision-making, while also studying individual and group behavior to better understand workplace dynamics. Delving into operations research, you'll gain expertise in using mathematical models, simulations and statistical analysis to optimize processes, allocate resources and formulate strategies.

Through case studies of real-world scenarios, you'll apply project management principles and operations research skills to identify key issues, explore solutions and develop well-founded recommendations.

Your project management - operations research curriculum will be delivered by faculty who are both scholars and practitioners, blending theory with real-world application. They are involved in practical research and demonstrate the principles they teach.

Committed to excellence, our faculty not only foster analytical skills, critical thinking, deductive reasoning and sound judgment but also actively engage with students, offering personalized support and mentorship. Their dedication ensures that you receive a rich, interactive learning experience.

During the final year of study, students in the project management operations research master’s program gain hands-on, practical experience working with organizations that require project management expertise. You’ll tackle a complex, real-world project management challenge in a team-based environment that lets you apply your skills and demonstrate mastery of core project management competencies.

Successful project managers come from diverse academic backgrounds. A bachelor’s degree is required, but it doesn't need to be in business. We especially encourage those with degrees in mathematics, science or engineering to apply. If your academic experience doesn't fully cover the foundational knowledge needed, one or more prerequisite courses may be necessary to ensure you're fully prepared for success in the program.
