Project Management

Certificate Program

The California State University, East Bay Certificate in Project Management offers project managers a Project Management Institute (PMI)-approved way to complete the educational hours necessary to qualify for the Project Management Professional (PMP®) Exam.

The Project Management Certificate is equally valuable to project managers who have not had the benefit of formal training or the benefit of a certification that recognizes their expertise and experience. Those professionals seeking to make a career change into project management or to advance into general management positions also will find the certificate appealing.

Students who take advantage of Cal State East Bay Project Management Certificate Program will enjoy a comprehensive 10-week program during which they will, as part of a team, apply a range of concepts and principles to a real project of their choosing.

Classes are held in the evenings and the location alternates each quarter between Hayward and our campus in downtown Oakland, making them easily accessible for those who live or work in San Francisco or the East Bay Area.
