Green Bay, Wis.—Many area businesses lived through their worst-case scenarios during the pandemic. Disruption and interruption were especially felt in company supply chains, the process of getting products or services delivered to end consumers.
UW-Green Bay leaders recognized a new kind of adeptness was called for and developed a noncredit certificate program in Supply Chain Management that delivers integrated exposure across functions. The new online certificate program will be offered in six-week courses and can be completed in seven months or paced over multiple semesters.

Core courses across functions include:
- Supply Chain Management — Provides a high-level overview of the supply chain process, including analytical tools and applications.
