Learn to manage technical projects in one of the nation’s fastest-growing tech hubs with the opportunity to complete a co-op at some of the industry’s most influential and innovative leaders. With concentrations available in Agile Project Management, Leading and Managing Technical Projects, and Analytics, our MS in Project Management in Seattle prepares you with an education and real-world experience to take a leadership role in the Pacific Northwest’s most in-demand fields.

Complementing the degree curriculum are concentrations that enable you to expand your knowledge within your field of interest.
