The University of Northern Virginia ’s Master of Business Administration with concentration in project management is comprised of fourteen three-credit courses (42 credit hours) and is divided into three groups of courses. The first group, or “Cornerstone Courses,” provides students with a solid academic foundation upon which the second group, or “Core Courses,” is built. This second group gives students the necessary knowledge and skills to be effective managers in a marketplace that is increasingly global and technological. The third group, or “Concentration Courses,” allows students the opportunity to focus on the project management concentration topics.
