Abstract: The popularity of project work in organizations has exposed a gap in project management education. To date, most project management education rests in a single undergraduate course or a Masters program, supplemented by professional training. This paper presents a different approach to filling the gap: a full undergraduate degree in Project Management. It describes the process of designing a four-year undergraduate Project Management degree. The paper details the implications of the degree design for our discipline. It highlights the opportunities offered by an Information Systems project management degree. It also illustrates how the degree design can provide be tailored for a three-year undergraduate IS project management degree. The paper contributes to the growing field of IS Project Management Education.
