Logistics and Supply Chains, Graduate Certificate


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Programs (by level)

The Graduate Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chains is a dynamic certificate that provides professionals with the opportunity to reach a demonstrated level of competence in tools and techniques to make better decisions related to logistics and supply chain design, planning and execution. The graduate certificate may act as a standalone graduate option for post-baccalaureate and post-master’s students, or may be pursued concurrently with a related graduate degree program at UNC Charlotte. The 12 credit hours in the certificate may be applied toward the M.S. in Energy Management with the approval of the Program Director.

Admission Requirements


In addition to the general requirements for admission to the Graduate School, the Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management seeks the following:

  • Either a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a closely related technical or scientific field, or a bachelor’s degree in business, provided relevant technical course requirements have been met
  • Undergraduate coursework in engineering economics, calculus, and statistics
  • Students missing any of the prerequisite courses should register for EMGT 6101 - Engineering Management Fundamentals . This course satisfies the prerequisite requirement but does not count toward the 12 credit hours in the certificate.
  • An average GPA of 3.0 (out of 4.0)
  • Applicants should submit written description of any relevant and significant work experience
  • Applicants whose native language is not English will need to satisfy the UNC Charlotte Graduate School’s English proficiency requirements

This program accepts students in Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.

Early Entry Program

Exceptional undergraduate students at UNC Charlotte may apply for the Early Entry Program and begin work toward the graduate degree before completion of the baccalaureate degree.  See the Undergraduate Catalog for details and requirements.  Also see the Degree Requirements and Academic Policies  section of the Graduate Catalog for more information about Early Entry Programs.

Certificate Requirements


The certificate will be awarded upon completion of four graduate level courses (12 credit hours) in the area of logistics and supply chains. The cumulative GPA must be at least 3.0 and at most one course with a grade of C may be allowed toward the certificate. Requests for related course substitutions may be approved at the discretion of the Program Director.
