What can I do with an MBA in Project Management?

If you earn an MBA in Project Management, you can become better equipped with the essential business, management, and leadership skills needed for many industry roles. You can develop specialized skills in project management that every industry needs to achieve complex goals. Whether in sales departments or IT firms, companies and organizations need help managing the individual responsibilities of many employees.

With an MBA in Project Management, you can have a background in business management and the skill set of a project manager that can help you be a more successful executive or program director. If you want to have the flexibility to handle projects and administrative tasks, then the MBA online project management program can help you get the training you need.

Do you need an MBA to be a project manager?

To become a project manager, you need specialized training in the tools, methods, and strategies project managers use to solve business problems. But if you already have a bachelor’s degree, then it can be difficult to get these special skills. Business management graduate programs can have some of these skill areas as part of their curriculum, but a project manager’s master’s degree will be especially focused on giving you the training you need.

A master’s in business management, like Liberty’s MBA in Project Management, can help provide advanced training in these areas. Through your project and business management courses, you can learn how to solve real-world business problems through project management techniques.

Is a PMP better than an MBA?

Project Management Professional certification (PMP) is a professional designation provided by the Project Management Institute. As with the CAPM, the PMP certification is not an academic degree and instead is intended to demonstrate your professional skills in the field. Since the PMP is an exam based on experience, you are expected to have work experience as a project manager before taking the exam.

Our recommended path for career project managers is to pursue the MBA in Project Management or the MS in Project Management, which can prepare you for the CAPM exam. Later, after gaining experience in the field, you can be better equipped to take the PMP exam to further demonstrate your expertise as a project manager. Our degree in project management can be an effective starting point for your career.
