The Master of Science in Project Management at St. Edward's University is founded on the Project Management Body of Knowledge® established by the Project Management Institute. The program, excluding the Phase I foundation course, consists of 12 three-credit-hour courses (36 credit hours in total). Classes will meet once a week and will be offered fall, spring and summer.

Phase II courses constitute one-quarter of the coursework and provide expertise in business principles, plus an introduction to project management. Phase II courses are also part of the MBA program and are intended to give students an understanding of management, ethics and law as it applies to businesses.
