Prerequisites

Students should have a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. However, there are no admissions requirements for the certificate program.

Curriculum Requirements

The curriculum includes a total of seven classes (14 semester units and 210 hours of instruction):

  • Four required courses
  • Two primary electives
  • One additional elective, for a total of 7 classes

Candidates must pay a nonrefundable certificate registration fee. We recommend that certificate students register for the certificate when they decide to commit to completing it, usually around the time of the second course in the curriculum.

You may begin the program at any time and progress through the curriculum in the format and at a pace that fits your goals. Most students complete the certificate's curriculum in one to two years.

To complete the certificate in a timeframe that works with your schedule, we offer courses in the following formats:

  • Online, accelerated: eight weeks of study
  • Classroom, daytime (weekend) format: four or five weeks of study
  • Classroom, evening (weeknight) format: generally 10 weeks of study

All project management certificate courses, including those online, have fixed start and end dates, with assignments and project work assigned throughout the course. Courses are scheduled so that you can complete all certificate requirements in about one year by taking the shortest duration sections sequentially. All coursework must be completed within five years.

You must take all courses for a letter grade. To receive the certificate, you must maintain an overall minimum 2.5 grade point average (GPA), with a grade of C or better in each course. A Certificate With Distinction will be awarded to those who complete the certificate with a GPA of 4.0 (effective to those who register beginning Oct. 1, 2017).

How to Register

By registering, you declare your intention to complete the curriculum (domestic students only). To register online for the Certificate Program in Project Management, complete these two steps:

  1. Submit the online registration, and complete your student account profile if you are a new student.
  2. Pay the nonrefundable registration fee through your shopping cart. Please allow 3–5 business days for the registration to appear in your student account.

You should register for the certificate after you complete the first course in the curriculum.

Estimated Cost

Each course is priced individually, and you pay the course fee at the time of enrollment. The Project Management certificate has an estimated cost of $6,900 (not including course materials or registration fee). Course fees are subject to change.

Certificate and Award Request

Once you have completed the certificate coursework, notify UC Berkeley Extension in writing that you have completed the curriculum and request your certificate. Send an email to extension-business@berkeley.edu or call (510) 642-4231. After your records have been reviewed, verified and approved (usually within two to three weeks), your certificate will be mailed to you.
