Looking at Graduate Degrees in Project Management

I contacted Washington University today in St. Louis. They do not offer an online Master in Project Management. You have to attend class. I just looked at US News and World Report and Washington University is tied at 13 with Northwestern. I did not know they were rated this high. I think I can get in if I choose to do so. However tuition is $1395 per credit + books + parking. I will only be able to take 3 classes per year and would finish in 4 years because of Boeng's tuition cap. I'm still waiting to hear back from Western Carolina University and Boston University. I was able to get in contact with the University of Wisconsin. They gave me some flak about accepting transfer credit for some of my graduates classes I took. They said there is a seven year window and since I graduated in 1997 that window has closed. I told them I would find another school that will accept them. The adivisor wants me to fax him my transcript, PMP Certificate and my resume. He said he thinks that I can still receive credit for work experience and the PMP. Will see. I also checked out American Graduate University. They offer a MS in Project Management and a MBA with a Concentration in Project Management. I like their cirriculum. Seems very robust and the school is really affordable.

Keep in mind that those rankings you looked at in US News only concentrate on undergraduate programs. The grad programs aren't figured into that equation at all. That said Wash U is a fantastic school. Their law school is a top-20 program and their MBA program is top-30. I don't know much about any of their other graduate schools.

Thanks Ian. I would imagine you would hear some great stories. When I went to Webster alot of the instructors worked at McDonnell Douglas. My instructor for my pm class and capstone class was a marine aviator during Vietnam. He had some great stories. I'm almost positive that ERAU does not a location in St. Louis however.

The ERAU MPM is offered on line
Master of Science in Project Management, Graduate Degrees, Worldwide Campus, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
However I have no on-line experience with ERAU.

What I did with both my graduate degrees was to take one or two courses and if I thought the program looked promising I continued on. Otherwise I could have transferred those one or two courses to another institution.
