Graduate Certificate in Project Engineering and Construction Management Civil Engineering, Architectural and Environmental Engineering | Engineering Management and Systems Engineering

About the Certificate

This program is designed to provide formalized education in the area of Project Engineering and Construction Management. The certificate program also aims to equip students with a set of tools that will allow them to achieve international standards in the management area, to successfully manage projects and human resources, and to analyze, evaluate, and improve systems. Specifically, this program will give the participants the ability to:

  • Identify operations problems and implement solutions for improved strategic competitiveness,
  • Make sound decisions, plan, and control the key resources (money and people) of an organization,
  • Critically analyze, evaluate, improve, or adapt existing technical and managerial systems, and
  • Design and develop new technical and managerial systems.

This certificate program is designed to appeal to working professionals. It is open to all persons holding a bachelor's, master's or doctorate degree in engineering or a physical science and who have a minimum of 12 months of professional employment experience, or are currently accepted into a graduate degree program at Missouri S&T. 

Students admitted to the certificate program will have non-degree graduate status but will earn graduate credit for the courses they complete.

If they complete the four-course sequence with a grade of B or better in each of the courses taken, they will be admitted to the master's degree program of the department administering the certificate, without having to take the GRE; however, students must still apply for entry into the master's degree program. Certificate courses taken for graduate credit may count toward the student's master’s degree. Students who do not have all of the prerequisite courses necessary to take the courses in the certificate program will be allowed to take “bridge” courses at either the graduate or undergraduate level to prepare for the formal certificate courses.

Once admitted to the program, a student will be given three years to complete the program so long as a B average is maintained in the courses taken.

Students applying for a graduate certificate must submit the following:

  • Completed Application
  • Statement of Purpose
  • Transcripts

Pathway to a Master's Degree

Are you a working professional who wants to earn your master's degree, but you don’t have time to take the GRE/GMAT? Then start in a graduate certificate program. Graduate certificates were designed as a pathway to a master's degree.* The admission requirements are more relaxed and credit earned will count toward your degree. Once you successfully earn your graduate certificate, you can continue with the corresponding master's degree without having to take the GRE/GMAT.
