Frequently Asked Questions

While it’s possible to transition to project management from another field, most employers look for an undergraduate degree at a minimum. Earning your project management degree sets you on the right path toward a successful career in this growing field.

SNHU's undergraduate business administration degree equips you with the business acumen to understand how organizations run. The online project management degree concentration exposes you to the methodologies and standard tools and practices for creating and completing organizational projects. It also lays a solid foundation to develop project management skills like production planning, inventory control, logistics, supply chain management and quality control.

In addition to earning a project management degree, gaining professional project management qualifications can help you stand out among a crowded field of applicants. The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification from PMI, for example, tells employers you have a strong background of educational and professional experience.

The CAPM® is a global standard that not only enhances your professional credibility. It improves your effectiveness as a project manager, whether working on or with project teams. Combined with a project manager degree, CAPM® certification can give you the skills you need to succeed as a project manager and help you find work in today’s fastest-growing industries.

A business administration degree with a project management concentration prepares you for a number of entry-level positions, including project coordinator or program manager. These positions are critical roles in professional, scientific and technical services, as well as manufacturing, finance and insurance.

Combined with your project management degree, the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification can expand your opportunities and boost your salary.

An online master's in project management coupled with Project Management Professional (PMP)®certification opens the door to an even wider range of career options, including:

  • Inventory manager
  • Operations manager
  • Operations planner
  • Process improvement manager
  • Program manager
  • Project manager
  • Purchasing manager
  • Quality assurance manager
  • Supply chain manager

Several leading industry sectors may offer the best career options. In a recent report from PMI, the following industries show the highest potential for job growth:1

  • Finance and insurance
  • Healthcare
  • Information services and publishing
  • Management and professional services
  • Manufacturing and construction
  • Oil and gas
  • Utilities

Project managers need to be able to think strategically, lead teams of varying sizes and work through the challenges of complex environments.

The most effective project managers have great people skills. They know how to communicate well with every stakeholder from the C-suite to the factory floor, as well as clients and vendors.

They’re organized and efficient. They’re also creative, adaptable and comfortable thinking on their feet.

SNHU’s online project management degree can help you hone a fundamental set of soft skills for any project management role that includes:

  • Communication and critical thinking
  • Leadership and self-motivation
  • Negotiation
  • Organization

In addition to enhancing soft skills, the project management degree will help you develop a strong set of practical skills. You’ll learn how to plan, execute and close projects and gain an understanding of industry-leading tools and methodologies.

In a recent report, the Project Management Institute looked at the project management job market in 11 countries and found that project-oriented jobs would likely skyrocket in the coming years.1

Why is the job market for project managers growing so quickly? The PMI report points to baby boomers. As boomers age out of the job market, vast numbers of seasoned project managers are retiring.1

And there’s another reason – the COVID-19 pandemic. This unprecedented global event placed a spotlight on the challenges of getting supplies from point A to point B in the face of huge obstacles. The supply chain and efficient project management became crucial during this time. And where they failed, employers identified gaps they’ll need to fill to avoid falling short in the future. Should abrupt shifts in the supply chain occur again, project managers will need to step in to problem solve and help keep it moving.

Those two trends and others are creating project-related job openings in nearly every industry. PMI predicts an especially strong need in sectors such as:1

  • Manufacturing and construction
  • Information services and publishing
  • Finance and insurance
  • Management and professional services
  • Utilities
  • Oil and gas

And for the most part, those positions pay well. In May 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported project management specialists earned a median annual wage of $98,580.2

Absolutely! Besides being in very high demand, project management is versatile and constantly evolving.

Why are project managers in such high demand? Simple – they make things happen. Project managers help organizations in every industry build in process, routine and some level of predictability. They find better ways to do business. They help companies hit both short-term and long-term revenue targets. And they serve a critical role wherever efficient operational function is crucial (and that’s everywhere).

What makes project management a versatile career path? Project managers hone a skill set that applies to work-related scenarios across every industry. It also carries over into everyday life. From planning large social gatherings to running a household, a project management degree helps you sharpen an indispensable set of life skills.

How is the field evolving? The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 843,910 new jobs for project management specialists through 2032.2 In fact, it’s not uncommon to find an organization that starts with one project management team to have multiple teams just a few years later. And it’s little wonder. Companies in every industry rely on project managers to drive large, complex projects over months or even years.
