Supply Chain Management Certificate

A flexible, for-credit option in Supply Chain Management

This for-credit Supply Chain Management Certificate program introduces you to key concepts in the field, such as systems analysis, trade-off analysis, transport systems, procurement, inventory management, and supply chain integration and strategy. The program provides an overview of logistics and supply chain management and addresses the needs of manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, merchandisers, transportation and warehousing firms, and government agencies. The implications of e-commerce in relation to supply chain management are also explored.

Certificate Program Benefits

Certificate programs provide a flexible, convenient, short-term opportunity for professional development, self enhancement, and earning a formal academic credential from Penn State. Certificate program courses can “step up,” or be applied to, academic degrees at Penn State.

Required Courses

A certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of four courses (12 credits). The credits earned in the certificate program in supply chain management may be used to satisfy some course requirements in the associate degree in business administration, or the baccalaureate degree in business at Penn State.
