TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Known as a leader in online education, Villanova University is pleased to announce a new Business Process Management (BPM) program. BPM creates process solutions on a broad, cross-functional, organization-wide scale to reduce costs and enhance revenue.

"Business Process Management is more applicable than ever for companies wanting to stay competitive," states Jeff Sipes, Villanova University's BPM faculty member. "BPM helps businesses improve their overall processes and align them with technology, saving them valuable time and money."

Upon completing Villanova's video-based three-course Master Certificate in Business Process Management program, projects and final exam, professionals will become a Certified Professional in Business Process Management (CPBPM), certified by Villanova University. No other university offers this in-demand certification.

The new BPM program tightly aligns with Villanova's existing process improvement programs, which all prepare students for industry-recognized certifications:

Six Sigma eliminates waste on the project level to maximize savings and prepares students for the Lean Black Belt Certification.
Project Management helps project managers lead individual projects more effectively. A master certificate from Villanova University prepares students for the PMP® or CAPM® certification exam offered by PMI®.
Business Analysis aligns business and IT, improving the flow of information within a company. This master certificate program prepares students for industry-recognized business analysis certification by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®). Earning a Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP®) or Certification of Competency in Business Analysis™ (CCBA™) demonstrates knowledge of the skills necessary to be an effective business analyst.

U.S. News & World Report has ranked Villanova the #1 Regional University in the North for more than 20 years. Villanova offers courses 100% online, powered by University Alliance technology. Professors lead the online courses, and students can log in at the same time to view the class, participate in white board discussions and more. If students are unable to attend the live instructor-led virtual classes, students can access recorded lectures 24/7. This instruction can be received through students' computer or mobile device.
