Lean Six Sigma Minor

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 Minor is ideal for individuals interested in enhancing their knowledge and skills in the areas of quality and efficiency.

• 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 minor in Lean Six Sigma is open to all majors. Courses in the minor may satisfy requirements in a major, for example, the online programs in engineering technology management and mechanical engineering technology, and the on-campus program in manufacturing engineering technology.

Note: In addition to the minor, the University offers an online Lean Six Sigma Certificate. The minor adds two courses to the Certificate.
