The Department of Management, Trulaske College of Business, and the Department of Industrial and Mfg Systems Engineering, College of Engineering, at the University of Missouri are offering an interdisciplinary undergraduate Certificate in Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM).

Over the last several decades SCM has gained broad acceptance by both academics and practitionersand is currently considered a core discipline in business/industrial engineering education. SCM draws heavily upon expertise inoperations management, strategic management, marketing, logistics, transportation, information technology, and decision sciences.SCM is not merely an effort to increase operational and cost efficiencies; the implementation of SCM approaches and tools have strategic implications for an increasingly competitive business environment.

A career in SCM presents with a wide range of opportunities. The potential job functions in SCM include purchasing, operations and production, transportation, distribution, supply chain planning, warehousing and materials handling, import/export operations, sales, inventory control, and supply chain analytics.

Process

Students complete an online application to apply for the certificate (contact Shannon Breske – breskes@missouri.edu). Industrial Engineering students should also notify Dr. Noble. The internship experience (IMSE 4910) for IMSE students with a SCM focus must be approved by Dr. Noble.

Upon completion of the certificate requirements, Shannon Breske will send a graduation list to the appropriate respective Undergraduate Advising Office to make official the GSCM certificate. The GSCM certificate is listed on the student’s official transcript.
