Program Overview

The Supply Chain Management graduate certificate program helps you get a leg up in a variety of industries by teaching you how supply chains work. Supply chain management (which ensures a smooth flow of products and services from their sourcing to final use) is the backbone of many organizations in industries like transportation, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and retail. With this certificate, you’ll be ready to launch an exciting career that combines technical expertise with innovative thinking and relationship-building.

Courses are delivered in a variety of ways, with an emphasis on applied and experiential learning. Not only will you learn the basics, but you'll also learn about supply chain optimization, risk management and sustainable sourcing. By the end of this program, you’ll know how to deliver real value to your future employer.

Here are some skills you’ll be able to show off after completion of the Supply Chain Management program:

  • Guiding decision-making by finding connections between strategic objectives, stakeholder expectations, and supply chain functions, processes and roles
  • Making informed decisions about supply chain management using risk mitigation tools and strategies
  • Managing the acquisition and sale of goods, services and materials according to best practices and stakeholder expectations
