Life is all about problem-solving, time management, and efficiency. Those who understand how to manage the nuances and functions surrounding these issues often find professional success. Enter the project manager.

Navigating the Landscape of Time Management

Companies across industries incorporate project managers into their day-to-day operations and business models. They need a jack of all trades—someone who can analyze a problem, strategize solutions, manage a team, and communicate effectively. “Project management is a pretty broad field. It deals primarily with identifying a set of requirements that various stakeholders in the company might have, then taking those requirements and building a program or project to address or solve those requirements,” said Amberton Business Associate Faculty Dr. Blair Stephenson.

The Role of Project Managers

When deciding where to pursue a degree in project management, keep in mind the importance of practical application. You need to prove you can achieve as much as you have the knowledge and academic understanding. Your technical skills are equally important as your cognitive abilities.

Practical Application

“Amberton has such a focus on being practical in the delivery and the content of the courses that we try to provide. As you move through the courses, you don’t really have to wait until you have the degree to gain value from what you’re studying,” Dr. Stephenson said.

Flexibility Beyond Graduation
