Education & Training Programs
Undergraduate Programs
- Associate of Applied Business Degree in Purchasing & Supply Management (On Campus & Online): This program is designed to prepare students to gain a basic knowledge of the concepts, processes and practices within the purchasing & supply chain function, and demonstrate the ability to identify and understand basic theories, principles & practices, and terminology related to each functional area of business. Purchases of materials, supplies and equipment represent a large part of a business or industrial firm's total cost of operation. Purchasing, because of its importance, is often designated as a separate responsibility to be handled by one or more individuals. Purchasing agents and their assistants are responsible for obtaining raw materials, goods and services at the lowest cost consistent with required quality.

The program presents students with the theoretical background needed to function in today's dynamic supply environment. Graduates are better prepared for careers in business and industry that deal with the issues of supply chain management. Courses included in this program serve as the foundation of study for the four modules leading to the APP and CPM designation.
