The Project Management Program consists of five required courses (15 units) and at least six elective units. Courses are available in both in-class and online formats, and the entire certificate can be completed online. The program can be completed in one or two years, depending on whether one or multiple classes are taken each quarter.
Project Management Essentials or Project Management Boot Camp is required to advance to other project management courses. A student who has met the necessary pre-requisite, or who already has the PMP credential, is welcome to enroll in any individual class of interest. In order to request to bypass a pre-requisite, please email ProjectManagement@ucsd.edu.
Any student working toward the Project Management Professional Certificate must elect to take every course for a letter grade. A grade of Pass is not acceptable toward the certificate. If you have registered for a course and selected a Pass/No Pass grade option, and you would like to apply that course toward the certificate, you can submit a grade change request in writing to the Student Services office directly by sending an email message to unex-reg@ucsd.edu. Students are allowed to change their credit status for a particular course at any time, up to and including the final course meeting. Keep in mind that any work already completed in this certificate program, before Fall, 2016, will be counted, as long as long as you passed, whether you received a pass or a passing letter grade.
