Supply Chain Professional Certificates
The Jerry & Vickie Moyes Center for Supply Chain Excellence has four professional certificates available to individuals with five-plus years of supply chain management experience, without a bachelor’s degree, who are interested in upskilling for career growth in the supply chain management (SCM) field.
Current Goddard School degree-seeking students and individuals who have previously earned a non-SCM bachelor’s degree and wish to upskill or re-enter the workforce into the dynamic and growing field of SCM are also invited to apply.
These programs give students access to our rigorous upper-level SCM curriculum. Certificates earn university credit and may be earned individually or stacked to build a strong foundational SCM knowledge base.
Each certificate requires three courses totaling 7 credit hours, and you can expect to be in class 3 hours per week. Certificates can be completed in two semesters.
All courses are taught over a full semester with evening schedule options. Some virtual courses may be available. Our experiential learning environment requires active engagement and collaboration with the instructor and colleagues; therefore, most courses are taught in a face-to-face format.
Prerequisites
- Completion of online leveling courses, provided as part of the program, in algebra, statistics and/or Excel, if not previously taken. Leveling courses provide a thorough review of important material associated with a degree program.
- Detailed information about each course’s prerequisite requirements is available in the course Catalog.
Most courses require a grade of "B" or higher for certificate completion. Some certificates require higher final grades as noted in course descriptions.
