Lean Six Sigma Certificate

Lean Six Sigma is a melding of industrial efficiency and quality techniques that are increasingly being applied to all businesses and organizations to improve quality while reducing costs. Lean focuses on increasing efficiencies and eliminating waste in the supply chain. Six Sigma is a quality-focused problem-solving methodology.

The online Lean Six Sigma Certificate is ideal for individuals interested in enhancing their knowledge and skills in the areas of quality and efficiency. The program is well-suited for working professionals pursuing careers in manufacturing, construction, mechanical design, and many other service and technology industries. In addition, the program is ideal for currently enrolled students who wish to increase employability.

• Unlike many certificates, this program consists of four credit-bearing courses. Note that a certificate from Indiana State University is an educational program and different from certification. Certification is conferred by professional organizations based on work experience, completion of work projects, passing professional exams, and other criteria.
• All courses are offered online. On-campus visits are not required.
• The program is easily integrated with most majors on campus and can be completed in a 12-month period. The program works well with the Technology Management Accelerated MS Program.
• Prior professional work experience is beneficial. Credit for prior learning, for example, applicable work experience or professional certification, is possible for some courses.
• The online Lean Six Sigma Certificate Program is open to eligible students in the U.S. (including the District of Columbia and all U.S. territories). The program is closed to students residing in countries other than the U.S. except for U.S. military and State Department personnel and their family members with APO/FPO addresses.
