The MPM program was the perfect bridge between the two disciplines to ensure the integrity of design. This unique program enabled me to focus my curriculum into areas most pertinent to my career. The weekly seminars introduced me to several industry professionals, including my current employer. The MPM program gave me the management,communication, cost and quality control skills to transition into my expanded role of architect and project manager. |

Erin L. Faulkner | Westfield, LLC Los Angeles, California |
Director of Project Controls | The Northwestern MPM program prepares individuals to succeed in the construction industry by offering courses taught by experienced, high-level professionals who are leaders in their fields of expertise. The resulting first-hand, real-world knowledge gives MPM graduates an edge over those from other construction management programs. The flexible class structuring and the ability to take courses in other University programs allowed me to take full advantage of my previous work experience as a project manager in the development of my course of studies. My experience in the program was very rewarding and fulfilling, and I truthfully feel that my MPM degree has paid for itself three times over in the last three years, both in what I learned and what I am able to offer employers. |
