Lean Six Sigma
Lean Six Sigma is a management approach that improves performance and eliminates waste of physical resources, time, effort, and talent. CMU offers two Lean Six Sigma certifications for undergraduates and graduate students:
- Green Belt Certification: a three-credit course or workshop that develops your project management, problem-solving, and analytic skills and prepares you for a successful career.
