Program details
Overview
The Master of Science in Project Management at Northeastern University's Toronto campus is available on-ground, hybrid, or fully online, and covers the full project lifecycle, including project definition, cost and risk estimation, schedule planning and monitoring, budget management, negotiation and conflict resolution, and leadership and presentation skills. Students can pursue specialized concentrations aligned with their area of interest within the broader project management curriculum. Graduates complete all of the educational requirements for PMP certification, and the program holds accreditation from the Project Management Institute's Global Accreditation Center. There is no thesis or co-op component described for the program. It is designed for professionals who want to lead complex projects and need stronger skills in managing project scope, risk, quality, and stakeholder communication. The flexible delivery formats make it suitable for working professionals who cannot commit to a purely on-campus schedule, while the PMP-aligned curriculum and program-level accreditation make it a fit for people planning to pursue professional certification alongside their graduate degree, whether they are moving into project management from another field or formalizing existing project leadership experience.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows Northeastern's College of Professional Studies process, which this programme page's 'View admissions requirements' link points to rather than listing the criteria itself. Applicants submit an online application, a statement of purpose of 500-1,000 words on their educational goals and expectations, a professional resume, unofficial undergraduate transcripts (official copies required only at enrollment, with a Foreign Credential Evaluation for non-U.S. institutions), and two letters of recommendation from people with academic or professional knowledge of the applicant. Non-native English speakers must demonstrate proficiency through TOEFL, IELTS, Pearson PTE, or the NU Global Exam, though neither page publishes a minimum score for this programme. No minimum GPA is stated. Admissions run on a rolling basis across Fall and Spring intakes; applicants needing a Canadian study permit are advised to apply three to four months ahead of the start date.
