Executive Project Management

Certificate Program

This advanced project management program is a compelling option for project managers who have at least 3-5 years experience and/or have attained the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. Professionals who have project management experience but have not yet had the benefit of a formal educational program should start with Cal State East Bay's Certificate in Project Management.

Cal State East Bay's curriculum, developed and taught by seasoned corporate executives and project management practitioners, is specifically based on what senior executives now expect of their project management leaders and how they view the evolving role of project management itself.

Classes are held in the evenings and are conveniently located in downtown Oakland, making them easily accessible for those who live or work in San Francisco or the East Bay Area. Project Management Institute (PMI) members receive a 10% discount on tuition for each course.
