Project Manager
Great Project Managers have good organizational and communication skills, the ability to juggle multiple tasks, and attention to detail. In this career, you track and manage all the critical elements of a project — time, money, people, and materials — from development through implementation. You work with internal and external clients, vendors, consultants, and computer specialists.
At Baker, you master the skills, tools, and techniques you need to effectively plan, organize, negotiate, and track resources. You learn how to develop requirements and document budgets, status, timelines, and outcomes. Plus, the insight you gain through the real-world experience of our faculty enhances your learning experience and prepares you for formal project management certification.
