Supply Chain Management, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

Saint Louis University’s post-baccalaureate certificate in supply chain management at the Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business provides a focused, high-impact introduction to one of today’s most critical and in-demand areas of business. Supply chains are more than logistics — they are complex, global systems that connect demand, production and delivery through data, technology and strategic decision-making. This certificate equips students with an understanding of the fundamental processes that drive efficiency, resilience, and profitable growth across these networks

Consisting of nine credits of advanced graduate coursework, the SLU certificate also serves as a strong pathway for continued study. Students who wish to deepen their expertise may seamlessly transition into Saint Louis University’s M.S. in supply chain management program, building on the same foundation of applied, data-informed decision-making and global perspective.
