Join us for the four week online course Project Management for History Professionals.

Whether you wear one hat, two hats, or you've lost count, sometimes we who work in history and museums sometimes need to go outside the field to gain the training needed to make sure our hats fit well. Project Management is used by professions and industries worldwide. It is defined as, "A set of learned skills and processes which, when artistically and consistently applied to projects, improves results."

The recently redesigned course includes four weekly modules with assignments, quizzes, and other activities. Within each weekly module, students use real-life projects for course activities. Participants should expect to spend five to eight hours per week on the course. Each weekly module is accompanied by a live chat with the instructor, Gina Minks.

If your work involves exhibitions, programs, strategic planning, fundraising, special events, collections work, or the many other tasks staff that history organizations address every day, you will benefit from this course.

Project management is valuable training for staff at all levels and an investment in your institution's ability to successfully complete projects and serve its community.

This course has been a huge help with my current project and will no doubt serve me and my museum well in future projects. I loved the layout of the class, working at my own pace, and the quick feedback on my homework posts. Overall, this class was well worth the time and cost! (2014 course participant)

Project Management for History Professionals will teach you the basics of successful project management so you can wear the hat of project manager with confidence.
