August 2024 CPM Online Program

Classes meet online each week. Each week begins Monday and ends at midnight the following Sunday.

The value of the online CPM Program is maximized as part of a group learning experience; it is not intended to be a self-study course. Therefore, ASU’s online Certified Public Manager Program's format and curriculum incorporates the following to enable a structured peer-to-peer learning experience:

• Individual assignments, discussion board questions, and presentations
• Group assignments, discussion board questions, and presentations
• Recorded lectures, case studies, and assessments
• Virtual live sessions

Program Eligibility

To be eligible for the Certified Public Management® Program, applicants are required to have completed at least 60 hours of learning activities that address the CPM Competencies. This requirement can be fulfilled through completion of one of the approved Supervisor Academies or other learning activities that address the CPM competencies. To begin the application process, please download and submit your completed CPM Application. Admitted applicants will be provided further instructions.

If you are an out of state applicant, please note as a member of the National Certified Public Managers® Consortium (NCPMC), when an out-of-state student approaches us, they must provide a participation agreement from their home state/territory CPM program approving of the student’s participation in ASU’s online program before applying with us.
