"Project Management (PM) skills are in huge demand," said the article's lead researcher, Raj Dash. "Not just in the United States but with many of the country's major trading partners, through 2020 and probably beyond. The Project Management Institute (PMI) has estimated that between 11-15.7M new PM-related jobs need to be filled by 2020.
"Professionals who combine a bachelor's degree in another discipline with a masters program in project management have a decided advantage for top PM jobs. This is a skill set that is highly desirable for managers in many industries, particularly in tech, construction, research and much more.
"In this college rankings list, we've focused on online master's-level degrees in project management -- given the convenience of online academic programs for currently working professionals. Graduate degrees and certificate programs in project management that are offered either 100% fully online, or in a hybrid format, are ranked for affordability, and presented with a statistical summary complete with tables and charts. An occupations/ industries list provides a starting point for career research in project management, and a handy list of acronyms helps navigate some of the terminology of the PMI in relation to professional certification exams such as CAPM(r) and PMP(r).
College rankings for this article were compiled with data from NCES (National Center for Education Statistics), a bureau of the Dept. of Education (http://nces.ed.gov/). We queried for graduate institutions that grant at least degrees and possibly certificates in Project Management on a distance basis, filtered out colleges that are based in U.S. protectorate nations, sorted by increasing out-of-state tuition, filtered out doctoral-level-only colleges, filtered for active online degree programs. This resulted in our list of the 25 most affordable masters programs in project management. Similar topical rankings will be published at AffordableSchools (http://affordableschools.net) -- an independent college search and rankings site with a focus on affordable colleges and programs -- on a regular basis.
