The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Enterprise Systems offers students the ability to gain specialized experience with modules in SAP ERP. More importantly, students gain a better understanding of how decisions in purchasing and materials management, operations planning, and information systems play a role in the success of an organization as a whole.

Large-scale enterprise systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)s have become the backbone of today’s information systems. These systems integrate information from all areas of an organization (i.e., marketing, operations, HR, sales) as well as up and down the supply chain.

In today’s business environment, managers must demonstrate proficiency in their understanding of enterprise systems and be able to design, employ, and use these systems effectively as a requirement to a successful career. The Graduate Certificate in Enterprise Systems is designed to provide students with the ability to demonstrate an overall understanding and working knowledge of the function, design, control, and use of ESs.  In addition to understanding ERP systems, this certificate also focuses on understanding how, administratively and operationally, each area of the organization interacts, leverages, and affects each other to create a desired outcome across the organization.

The curriculum provides students with sufficient conceptual understanding and applied skills to be able to navigate the complexities of transaction processing and data queries inherent in modern enterprise systems. A particular emphasis is given to the predominant enterprise system within large organizations, SAP, culminating in SAP TERP 10 instruction and the TERP 10 examination.
