The Global Logistics curriculum will integrate written course materials, internet-based instruction and laboratory simulation. It will teach participants the advanced technical skills needed to ship, track and receive goods around the world. "This program will serve both entry-level students to the logistics field, and also people currently employed in the fields that need to upgrade their skills or gain new skills. See the program of study in the college catalog.
How long does it take?
Including all required non-logistics courses (e.g. English, economics, other electives), it will take 2 years of full-time coursework or longer if going part-time.

If you have an industry certification such as CPIM or CSCP you may qualify for special credit.
