Online Graduate Success Story
Jerry Reavey, PMP - The Boeing Company
“I attended Villanova's Basics of Project Management, Mastering Project Management, Project Management Professional Certification Preparation, and the Advanced Strategic Project Management courses in 2004 and 2005 before earning my Project Management Professional certification in July 2005.
I really appreciated the educational rigor, the professionalism of the staff, and the tremendous convenience of taking these courses online through Villanova. I have a very busy schedule that includes substantial travel both domestically and internationally.
The convenience of being able to drop a disc into a CD drive on my computer and viewing a class anywhere at any time helped to make the learning experience efficient and effective. I was able to participate in the live online class sessions from many places around the globe.
For me, convenience was key and Villanova offered a learning experience and environment that fit right into my business and professional needs.”
