Graduate Certificate Bundle - Project Management (PPRJM) + Urban Design (PURBN) (Optional Co-op)

Project Management Program

This program prepares students to initiate, plan, execute, monitor and control a project to ensure its success. That's true whether their area of interest is the arts, community or social services, business or government administration. If students are a seasoned professionals, this program provides the opportunity to learn new skills to advance their career faster.

The program gives students a comprehensive foundation in project management and organizational management that applies to not-for-profit, for-profit and government organizations of all sizes. The activities, cases and projects are focused on small–medium sized projects, and are uniquely non-technical in their objectives and learning outcomes.

Under the direction of professors who are both outstanding educators and well-experienced in the project management field, students will learn through:

• Identify clear project objectives and detailed project requirements.
  
• Develop and monitor performance measures.
• Create valuable project management plans.
• Manage communication with all team members and project stakeholders.
• Arrange and control finances.
• Manage project constraints including scope, quality, cost and time

Urban Design Program

Cities need designers who understand the built environment. This eight-month graduate certificate responds to that demand, teaching students to design inclusive and sustainable solutions that connect and integrate urban landscapes. Sheridan is one of the few colleges in Canada to offer this niche training, which is traditionally taught in master's level studies.

The state-of-the-art Hazel McCallion Campus is a living lab for urban designers, surrounded by new development in the heart of Mississauga. Be inspired by the blank canvas of opportunity around students or make the short trip to Toronto to generate more ideas. Students will also have the chance to propose real-world solutions during a field placement with an urban design firm or industry partner.

Sheridan is well-known as a leader in design education. Learn from professors who have strong academic backgrounds and extensive industry experience in built environments. They'll teach students how to apply software skills to create visualizations of urban environments. Students will also study concepts of mobility, wayfinding, placemaking, ecology and more.
