The Management Project (MP) is an optional end-of-program experience in
each graduate degree program. You can demonstrate what you have learned
by applying it to an organizational problem or opportunity. Successful projects
can bring organizational recognition and strengthen your career options.
Sponsoring organizations may benefit both from the value added to their
employees and from the actual work of the project. Many projects result
in recommendations that are implemented in the workplace.
MPs are important to both you and your organizations. They are intended
to represent the quality of work UMUC students are capable of doing. As
is true in all graduate courses, you are held to high standards of performance
on both the written and oral components of the project. Because the final
report becomes a public document, it must be publication-ready. This means
that it must be free of all typographical errors, be grammatically correct,
and be laid out according to the established format.
You work under the supervision of a faculty advisor and a Site Supervisor
(an individual from the sponsoring organization who can represent its
interests and will share responsibility for the quality of the process
and final product). As is discussed later in this document, care must
be taken in both the choices of the project topic and the Site Supervisor.
