7.2 /10

I needed a global PMP certificate to stay updated in the industry, not specific to only India market.
Curriculum, separate individual certifications within this major certification, syllabus vastness, faculty interactions, combination of live and recorded sessions, conducting live proctored tests, interactive & impromptu project creation & submissions.

The limitations of Placement program could have been elaborated well in advance. It would be beneficial for university to provide more detailed information about placement rates, alumni success stories, and resources for job searching to help students feel more confident about their post-certifications plans. It can be little bit frustrating not knowing what opportunities are available after getting the certificate or how to access them. Without proper guidance or transparency from the career services department, students may feel uncertain about their future prospects. If college doesn't have strong connections with companies or provide resources for networking and job hunting, students may struggle to find employment in their field of study.

Average Fees : USD 1,127/ Year

As this was my very first global university academic experience, I enjoyed most of it. The curriculum, separate individual certifications within this major certification, syllabus vastness, faculty interactions, a combination of live and recorded sessions, conducting live proctored tests, interactive & impromptu project creation & submissions, overall, it was a roller coaster ride.

Faculty :

Overall Faculty was very interactive and helpful. They always helped in all the research-based studies that were difficult to grasp. Ms Bernadette, Prof. Vishal Kanoongo and prof. Sridhar was really great and helped us out of the box.

Campus Life :

It was more of an online program; however, as UMASS Alumni, we were invited to attend all the campus programs and events whenever we visited the University. Yet to visit Massachusetts.
