Your Advisor can assist you in making informed registration choices that contribute to your personal degree progress.

COMM 5010 Business Communication is a foundation requirement for the MS Project Management (MSPM) degree. The course includes content and addresses competencies which you may already have mastered adequately. If so, you may wish to take this waiver exam to demonstrate the competencies required for successful business communication in both the project and the general business environments. Passing the exam will release you from the obligation to take COMM 5010 as part of the MSPM degree requirements.

If your or your employee's development goals include project management, and your departmental training budget allows, you may want to consider this training opportunity. The Quad Cities PMI Chapter is hosting the attached 1-day seminar related to project management (see below). Lee Lambert is a well known expert in the field and is speaking on a topic that hits close to home for many of us managing projects at Deere. It's also an opportunity for those of us who need to maintain our PMP certification with some inexpensive credits (thus the name PDUs for Pennies).
