Requirements
A newly accepted student at AGU must enroll in their first class within 90 days of acceptance. A student is subject to dismissal from the University for Unsatisfactory Academic Progress if they do not meet this deadline.

You must earn 36 credits to graduate. Each course is 3 credits. You must take all five general management courses. There are ten Program/Project Management courses,
of which you must take seven. That allows you to tailor your project-management coursework according to the scale of projects you’re involved with and also to your professional interest.

You may select either of three required courses: Program Management (625) or Managing Projects (627), or Mastering IT Project Management (628). Program Management focuses on managing a complex program composed of multiple projects utilizing both functional organizations and product teams. Managing Projects covers the planning and control
of a single project. Mastering IT Project Management provides a roadmap for completing
IT projects to meet performance specifications. The other required course is Building and Leading Project Teams (671).

Of the six remaining project-management courses, you may elect to take any five to suit your own professional interest.

To graduate you are required either to pass a comprehensive final examination
or satisfactorily complete a project approved by the University and your instructor.

Curriculum Path
Each AGU course is organized in a sequential and logical order to make your learning experience optimal. When you begin, you will get a comprehensive study guide, with clear, simple instructions on how to proceed through each of your 12 courses.

We suggest you start by taking Course 602, “Essentials of Management,” followed by Course 627, “Managing Projects,” or Course 625, “Program Management,” or Course 628, “Mastering IT Project Management.” However, the actual path you will take will depend on the advanced standing you received for courses previously completed elsewhere.
