More Program Options
The dynamic field of supply chain management has become increasingly important as more companies use supply chain strategies as a means of market differentiation—through four or five graduate level business courses, you will gain the skills necessary to thrive in this evolving industry.

Understanding the most reliable, cost-effective ways to source materials, assemble products, manage inventory, and deliver products to customers has always been essential to business success. As all businesses have become increasingly global and advances in information technology continue to reshape manufacturing, transportation, inventory control, and customer relationship management, supply chain management has become an even more fascinating and rewarding field.
Whether you’ve already started a career in supply chain management and want to augment your basic business and management skills with specific supply chain expertise, or you want to make the transition to supply chain from another business discipline, D’Amore-McKim’s Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain Management will give you the tools and confidence you need to establish or further your career in supply chain.
When you are ready to pursue a full graduate degree at D’Amore-McKim—now or in the future—the credits you earn during the certificate program may be applied to eligible master's programs, including the Part-Time MBA.
