Certificate in Supply Chain Analytics

Admission 

Students seeking this certificate must be admitted to the Graduate School in a degree program or in nondegree category A status. All Graduate School policies relative to admissions apply.

Because international students must maintain a full course of study, they will not be issued an I-20 to pursue any part-time certificate program. They may, however, obtain a certificate while concurrently pursuing a graduate degree.

Students pursuing the graduate certificate must file an application for admission to the certificate program before half of the required credit hours are obtained. Requests for admission are reviewed by the program faculty and the dean of the Graduate School.

A few courses in this certificate program may require completion of a prerequisite course. Please consult with the graduate coordinator to discuss your application.
