North American Academia Continues Emergence in PM World - 22 Universities exhibit at PMI Denver Congress
Is the academic world finally emerging from the shadows in the project management professional world? While some universities have been pioneers with their graduate and undergraduate programs in project management, many leading academic institutions have ignored the rise of project management as a mainstream discipline. Perhaps that is finally changing.
At the recently completed PMI Global Congress - North America 2008 conference, twenty two (22) universities actually participated in the exhibition of project management products and services. This was a very impressive showing. While several universities with leading graduate programs in PM, such as The George Washington University and The University of Texas at Dallas, have been visible for many years, others are now raising their profiles.
Here is a list of universities that were highly visible at the PMI congress in Denver:
American Graduate University
Athabasca University
Boston University
Bryant University
Defense Acquisition University
Kaplan University
Keller Graduate School of DeVry University
Northeastern University
Penn State University

The George Washington University
