Affordable Colleges Offering CAPM Project Management Intro

I'm specifically interested in project management for my college major, and I've heard great things about the CAPM for landing a first job. Are there any low-cost colleges offering a CAPM Project Management Intro?

Indeed, several affordable colleges offer CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) courses or equivalent programs. Here are a few:

1. "Western Governors University": WGU's Bachelor of Science in Business, IT Management degree program offers a course in project management that aligns with PMI's CAPM requirements. The tuition is quite reasonable, with a flat rate per term rather than per credit hour.

2. "Purdue Global University": Offers an online Bachelor of Science in Project Management program. The curriculum aligns with PMI's guidelines, preparing students for CAPM certification.

3. "University of Maryland Global Campus": The university's Project Management degree program aligns with PMI's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) which can prepare you for the CAPM exam.

4. "American Public University": Their Bachelor's degree in Management with a concentration in Management is tailored to PMI standards, preparing you for the CAPM certification.

Each of these universities is known for its relatively low tuition, especially for in-state students, and for online, part-time, or adult learners. However, remember that the total cost will depend on many factors including residency status, financial aid, scholarships, and whether you attend full-time or part-time.

Additionally, be sure to verify the current program offerings and certification alignments for each school with their admissions office, as they can sometimes change. Don't just rely on the info I've provided here.

Lastly, because the CAPM exam is administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI), you can prepare for the exam independently. There are many reputable and affordable online study resources, self-study books, and practice tests that can help you ready for the CAPM exam, even if your college program does not directly offer a CAPM-prep course. But practical experience and education from a dedicated program can definitely give you an edge.
