What are the differences between the minor and the certificate in Engineering Project Management (EPM)?
The minor provides Texas A&M students an opportunity to engage in engineering project management topics concurrent with their declared major. The minor in EPM is different than other minors as it is not discipline-specific; rather it is a carefully designed multi-disciplinary study that includes project-based experiences that traverses business, leadership, and engineering. The minor consists of 16 credit-hours and appears on your transcript. In contrast, the requirement for the certificate is 12 credit-hours and upon completion of the coursework the student receives a physical certificate. The EPM certificate is for graduate students only.
