topics include leadership, quality, scheduling, controlling costs,
communication and application within project management.

Students who complete eight
of the 11 courses offered, earning 16 credits, will be awarded a Graduate

for credit before applying to the Arcadia University graduate business program.

tuition reimbursement programs.
