NCMA Contract Management Standard™

The Master in the Study of Law (M.S.L.) in Government Contracting & Procurement program at UDSL considers and uses the National Contract Management Association's (NCMA) ANSI-approved Contract Management Standard™ (CMS) as the basis of its program and course curricula to enable our students' proficiency and skills they need to succeed in the workforce. The program's alignment with the CMS prepares our students for NCMA's certification exams, such as the Certified Contract Management Associate (CCMA) certification, which demonstrates proficiency in the CMS and is a strong stepping stone into the contract management profession. Adoption of the CMS demonstrates our continued commitment to driving student success through instruction of the phases, domains, competencies, and skills that are common across the contract management profession and career advancement.
