3. It assures those professionals considering the PMP credential that PMI’s certification system is recognized in the global business community.

Individuals who obtain and maintain a PMI PMP® credential are not only recognized for their skills and knowledge during the vigorous credentialing process, but also show their dedication to the profession and professional development.

JEREMY MOOREB.G.S. 2011Contract Trainer Parkview Health System

“General Studies fits my personality well and allowed me to pursue a lot of different areas instead of just one. I ended up with four minors—communication, religious studies, psychology, and sociology—because I really liked the professors and the content in those areas.”

“I was trying to balance a full-time job, raising two children and completing

my degree program. I was the first in my

family to go to college and I wanted to be a role model

for my children. Due to its flexibility, the General Studies

program allowed me to achieve my bachelor’s degree while

still allowing me to grow and advance in my career with

Wells Fargo. I didn’t have to give up one for the other.”
