Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Supply Chain Management
Cape Breton University will not be offering admission into the Post-Baccalaureate Diplomas in Business Management or Healthcare Management, or the Diploma in Government Management, for May 2025 and September 2025.
The Supply Chain Management Diploma program intends to build on the recent addition of the BBA, Supply Chain Management Major program by utilizing the university resources to deliver a focused Diploma program in this field of study. It is aimed at students who have already obtained a bachelor’s degree, and who are interested in pursuing concentrated study in Supply Chain Management: to begin a career in the sector and perhaps pursue a professional accreditation in Supply Chain Management.
Supply Chain Management involves the management of materials, information, and finances as they move in a process from the manufacturer, through the supplier and retailer, and ultimately to the end user. Organizations are increasingly placing emphasis on improving their operations and supply chain performances as efficient management of transportation and logistics becomes vital to economic growth.
