Why choose ODU for AI in supply chain operations?

Build AI skills that keep logistics resilient and responsive. ODU’s online AI in Supply Chain Operations graduate certificate builds a foundation in artificial intelligence and global logistics so you can improve forecasting, risk assessment, automation and decision making across complex supply chain networks.

You’ll complete four graduate courses that cover:

  • Core concepts in global supply chain partnerships, reverse logistics systems, and material management
  • The characteristics and uses of different types of AI, such as natural language processing and computer vision
  • Topics in supply chain 4.0 technologies, such as blockchain and smart contracts, large language models (LLM), automation and robotics, and more

Experiential learning is built in through a practicum, where you'll apply what you learn to a focused area and produce a paper or e-portfolio. Depending on your goals, the practicum may be an internship, a work-based project or a paper on a relevant topic. When you finish, you’ll be prepared to bring practical, responsible AI insight to supply chain and logistics operations.

The program is led by a prestigious, cross-campus team including Artificial Intelligence (AI) Teaching Fellows to shape rigorous, ethically grounded AI education.
