Project Management Degree Credit Through Certification

Use your GI Bill® or military benefits today to earn your PMP® or CAPM® certification — and turn it into degree credit at top universities. Certification now, faster degree later.

Your Degree Path Starts with Certification

Thinking about earning a project management degree or other master's degree? You don’t have to choose between getting certified and getting your degree. In fact, earning your PMP® or CAPM® certification now can actually accelerate your degree later.

Whether you’re planning to pursue a bachelor’s or master’s program, many top universities now recognize PMI certifications as qualified experience—offering credit toward a project management degree or other master's degree.

And if you’re eligible for military benefits like the GI Bill®, you can use just 1 month of eligibility to earn your certification now. That means you gain career-ready credentials and save time and money when you do pursue a degree.

Why Start with Certification First?

Faster ROI

Certifications like PMP® and CAPM® help you qualify for high-paying jobs right away.

University Credit

Your certification or training can count toward 6–12 credits in graduate or bachelor programs.

Smart Use of GI Bill®

Use just one month of GI Bill® benefits now to gain momentum toward your long-term goals.

No Conflict

Your certification doesn’t take away from your ability to use the GI Bill® for a degree later.

Military and GI Bill Benefits: Maximize, Don’t Postpone

A common objection we hear is, “I want to save my GI Bill® for a master’s program.” But you don’t have to choose.


When you use your GI Bill® to earn your PMP® or CAPM®, you use just 1 month of eligibility—and gain credentials that:

  • Count toward your degree

  • Help you land better jobs now

It’s not a tradeoff. It’s a smart launchpad.
