PMP Curriculum Requirements
The PMP is designed for both part-time and full-time study, taking anywhere from 1.5 (full-time) to 3 years (part-time) to complete. Students generally take one to three classes per quarter in the evening as well as a quarterly seminar. Summer quarter is optional and provides the opportunity for students to accelerate through the program, should they so choose. International students on F1 visas are required to pursue a full-time curriculum.
Part-time: The part-time curriculum is typically completed over the course of nine academic quarters (3 calendar years). Students generally take a four-credit course plus a one-credit seminar each quarter, for a total of 5 credits during any given quarter.
Full-time: The full-time curriculum is typically completed in 4-5 quarters (1-1.5 calendar years). Full-time students must take a minimum of 10 credits each quarter and a minimum of 5 seminar credits over the course of their study.
