A Degree in Project Management Can Lead to a Variety of Career Opportunities
Project managers span across different industries, but all have similar functions: overseeing a project from beginning to end. They can be responsible for scheduling, budgeting, design, and personnel supervision. For example, construction project managers may be required to obtain permits, monitor safety regulations, and coordinate the delivery of building materials and tools. Computer software and hardware systems project managers may help develop system requirements and manage a project through implementation.

Career training and education for a project manager
Most project manager positions require a bachelor's degree, with a master's degree to be competitive. Successful project management generally requires a combination of a college degree appropriate to the industry, as well as business and management skills. Career training is also usually required, whether through on the job training or industry-sponsored training and education programs.
