Kettering University is launching three new fully online graduate certificate programs.

The new certificate programs include:

• Global Leadership, which aims to equip students with the tools they need to lead diverse teams from around the world;
• Supply Chain Management, which is designed to teach "best practices in procurement, logistics, purchasing, inventory management, compliance and distribution," according to a news release; and

"For Kettering University Online students earning a master's degree, a graduate certificate allows for further specialization in their sphere of influence."
