CBC's Project Management division can now attest that all three of their program offerings including the Project Management 1-Year Certification, the Bachelor of Applied Science in Project Management (BASPM) and now, the Project Management Associate in Applied Science (AAS PM) degree pathways are all officially accredited. The GAC’s decision for CBC affirms that is fully prepares students to meet the needs of businesses and government organizations for qualified professionals working in the rapidly-growing and highly in-demand field of Project Management. Students of this program will be able to apply these project management concepts and skills in the workplace, volunteer organizations or life.

The GAC accreditation ensures the quality of academic degree programs and their graduates in order to meet the standards of the rapidly growing field of project management. Over 135 project management degree programs in twenty-two countries around the world are accredited by GAC.

Jeff Harris, an Assistant Professor of Project Management and the Project Management Program Coordinator at CBC states “We are honored and delighted that all three of CBC’s Project Management Program offerings have now received PMI GAC accreditation. With these internationally recognized and highly sought-after accreditations, our students can feel confident that CBC is preparing them to enter the workplace with the project management knowledge and skills necessary to succeed.”
