Professionals interested in deepening their knowledge in SCM in emerging market economies, particularly Latin America and the Caribbean - Expanding their graduate education in developing countries!


The MIT Graduate Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (GCLOG) is an elite academic program from the MIT Global Supply Chain And Logistics Excellence (SCALE) network, geared toward exceptional graduate students and professionals from developing countries who are interested in learning state-of-the-art topics in logistics, freight transportation and SCM and tools to solve real problems from emerging regions.

As a certificate program, the GCLOG has a smaller time and tuition footprint to MIT SCALE master's degree programs, and is a perfect educational complement for students currently pursuing a master's degree at their home universities or professionals looking for elevating their education to address current challenges in emerging markets. The GCLOG is taught by instructors from the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (CTL) – considered the world's foremost thinkers in the field of Supply Chain Management and related fields. The GCLOG carries with it the prestige of MIT, one of the world's most respected universities, with a proven record in supply chain management and logistics. 

We look for "Amplifying graduate education and prepare the next generation of leaders in Supply Chain for emerging market economies," capitalizing on a hybrid, hands-on experience that combines online content and two residential seminars on the MIT campus at an affordable cost for talented professionals.
