The Associate in Applied Arts and Sciences degree in Creative Project Management is designed to train students to work in the creative industry as project manager. The degree plan balances course work to cover basic design principles and technical skills with an emphasis on production scheduling, management, estimating, entrepreneurship, communication and marketing analytics. In a world where digital technologies are converging, professionals from different parts of the creative industry need to work together toward project solutions. Also, not every position in a creative business is directly design-related. Equally important skills in the industry include the ability to strategize, communicate and manage people, projects, budgets and time. The creative industry needs people to help strategize, visualize, and plan solutions, create and maintain production schedules and communicate with clients about their needs.
