Supply Chain Management & Logistics and Professional Communication

Executive Professional Development for International Students

As global markets continue to evolve and change, supply chain professionals are increasingly expected to develop, deliver and execute new strategic and operational practices to manage the movement of goods and services.

Building on your experience and supply chain knowledge, the Supply Chain Management & Logistics Professional Development Certificate will strengthen your ability to explore and analyze supply chain dynamics, strategies, operations, inventory, and freight forwarding transportation.

In addition, you will develop your ability to apply technology and management information systems to improve supply chain operations.
