Stackable Supply Chain Professional Certificates
Our Supply Chain Professional Certificates were designed with guidance from our Industry Advisory Board to provide opportunities to individuals currently working in the supply chain management field to meet their personal career goals while giving regional industry an influx of knowledge, skills and tools into their existing workforce. The Moyes Supply Chain Professional Certificates are primarily designed for individuals with five-plus years of supply chain management experience. This program gives 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. The four SCM Professional certificates stack to our SCM minor.
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 invited to apply. Current degree-seeking students are eligible to earn certificate is course grade requirements are met.
Each certificate requires one to three courses totaling 3-7 credit hours (expect to attend class 3 hours per week). Certificates can be completed in one to two semesters.
All courses are taught over a full semester with evening schedule options. 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. Some virtual course options may be available.
