The Global Operations Management AGC may be used for professional development and career advancement. There are over 3000 manufacturing and high technology companies on Long Island. Some of them will survive into the 21st century. To survive, these companies will need employees who are knowledgeable in how to manage the changes required to survive in the 21st century.
Many employees have the technical skills, but lack the managerial skills. Because of time constraints put upon them by industry, this alternative to a full M.S. degree allows them to learn about effective management and integration of their company's resources to produce and deliver competitive products and services. Understanding the tools, techniques, and technologies of all functional areas of a company is necessary to survive into the 21st century.A student will typically enter the graduate certificate program with education and experience compatible with or supportive of such areas as business/industry technology design, marketing and sales, finance, operations, engineering, and related areas. A few students may be recent bachelor's degree graduates. Some students may be in such areas as health care or other service industries. The graduate certificate program will help the student become a leader in industry. Furthermore, the certificate program will help the student become an expert in the management of technological systems and processes. Graduates of the certificate program may assume such roles as managers of finance, operations, engineering, quality, and become experts on the infusion of computer-based technologies into various business/industry environments.
In addition, all of the 18 credits may be applied toward the MS degree as long as your application for admission to the graduate MS program is accepted before starting your 13th credit.
