One that helps you build on what you already know. And one that lets you establish yourself as a leader in your firm and within the A\/E\/C industries. A few years ago, it wasn\u2019t so easy to find that type of graduate-level curriculum, one that specifically caters to your profession. That\u2019s why, in 2010, SMPS began a partnership with the University of Maryland and established <a href=\"\/marketer-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SMPS University: Leadership Advancement Program<\/a>.We wanted to create a program that truly focused on marketing and business development in the A\/E\/C industries.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>SMPS U is taught by some of the best faculty in the country, from University of Maryland\u2019s Robert H. Smith School of Business. We\u2019re really excited to offer this unique program, which sharpens business management concepts and best practices, such as research and development, finance, human resources, and leadership, to name a few.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The knowledge you\u2019ll walk away with is amazing, prepping you for the next level in your career and helping your firm in terms of profitability.I really hope you\u2019ll join the Class of 2017. You can learn more by visiting the<a href=\"\/marketer-online\/\"> SMPS University page<\/a>. We have the curriculum and schedule online, as well as more details about the University of Maryland faculty.
