“The program offers one of the best faculties in the nation. Its alliance with the architecture, engineering, and construction industries provides networking opportunities that benefit both graduates and the participating companies.”
Diane Zimmer (MPM Graduate)
MPM ADVISORY BOARD
Our Alumni
"MPM offers the unique advantage of preparing students who already have technical backgrounds with the requisite business skills needed to step into positions ready to perform and excel. MPM students are well-versed in how the industry is organized, operates and delivers projects, and they exit the program having already collaborated on diverse teams where they’ve applied course principles in situational project cases."
