Graduate Certificate - Supply Chain Management - Global (GSCM)

The global population needs a constant supply of goods and services. To respond to these demands in a way that is cost-effective and time-sensitive requires the skilled input of supply chain practitioners: professionals and leaders who can apply logistical planning strategies, troubleshoot problems, and provide support throughout the global and domestic trade networks. Within this program, students prepare for rewarding careers in supply chain management and logistics, as they develop specialized technical knowledge and skills through practical learning activities, simulations, and guest speakers. Students gain global supply chain competencies by examining the connections between strategic objectives, stakeholder expectations, and supply chain design, functions, processes, and roles.

Graduates of this program are prepared to work in a broad range of domestic and international employment settings within the supply chain. Career options include positions in manufacturing, operations, procurement, planning, inventory management, logistics, transportation, materials handling, warehousing, importing and exporting, freight forwarding, third- and fourth-party logistics providers, and customer service.
