Business - Purchasing
Description
About the program
This part-time, hybrid program is designed to prepare you for a professional career in the growing field of supply chain and logistics management. The central theme in the program curriculum is total cost of ownership. Businesses today are under unprecedented competitive pressures from around the world. The Business - Purchasing diploma program provides you with the skills necessary to contribute to the cost management, adaptability, and quality efforts in their organizations, thereby ensuring a competitive advantage and long-term profitability.
An agreement exists with National Institute of Supply Chain Leaders (NISCL) that provides advanced standing in the Certified Supply Chain Leader (CSCL) designation program. In addition, graduates may qualify for transfer credits that could be used for exemption from certain components of the CSCL graduate program. As part of the requirements for the NIGP (National Institute for Governmental Purchasing) designation, as administered by the UPPCC (The Universal Public Procurement Certification Council), CPPB (Certified Professional Public Buyer) and CPPO (Certified Public Procurement Officer), those students who have chosen and completed the optional Public Purchasing Course will comply with the requirement. They may also write the first CPIM (Certified in Production Inventory Management) exam towards their certification through ASCM (the professional Association for Supply Chain Management). Graduates can receive exemptions from the business course requirements within the Certified Logistics Professional designation (CCLP) program, administered by CITT (Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation).
This program is also offered in full-time delivery.
