Business skills prepare you to make an impact
Are you fascinated by the operations of complex businesses? Are you always looking for ways to streamline processes? Do you find satisfaction in solving logistic problems?
Interdisciplinary student status allows you to pursue your business interests, add new skills to your resume, and earn another credential—all without adding any additional credits to your graduate course load. A Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain Management will allow you to learn effective communication techniques, develop additional confidence with project-based work, and hone your problem-solving abilities. Additionally, you will deepen your understanding of a vital part of modern corporate operations—the efficient flow of goods and services.
Above all, a D'Amore-McKim graduate certificate will enhance your master's degree by encouraging you to think like a supply chain management professional. No matter where your career takes you, you'll find that the creative thinking taught at D'Amore-McKim gives you an extra advantage—whether in the board room, at the drafting board, or on a construction management job site.
Curriculum
The Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain Management requires 12 credits. You may be able to count courses as electives in your degree program or add them and earn a certificate concurrent to your master's program.
If you are earning your Master of Science in Engineering Management and have taken Supply Chain Engineering (IE 7200) you can bypass one required course, Operations and Supply Chain Management (SCHM 6201). As a result, you can earn your Graduate Certificate through the completion of 9 credit hours.
