SAP University Alliance
Organizations all over the globe, including Central Michigan University, rely on SAP for their everyday functions. In fact, SAP is the most-used Enterprise Research Planning, ERP, software on the market. It creates a centralized system that shares data across every department such as sales, inventory, finance, production, maintenance, and human resources.
Enterprise software serves as the "brain" of complex companies. At CMU, we'll prepare you to be a master in enterprise software. You'll get hands-on experience, where you'll learn how transactions are integrated across business processes, and how to implement and support technical infrastructure to carry out across different department functions.
About
Since 1997, we've been a leader in SAP education. We are a proud member of the SAP University Alliance, which gives us access to SAP software and learning content.
Our Mission
We facilitate the integration of ERP concepts into and across functional areas of the College of Business Administration's curriculum and programs of study.
Our Philosophy
We strive to give our students a global knowledge of business operations. We're not training technicians; we are shaping students into strong managers with an understanding of how enterprise systems work and why they are important. We focus on ensuring that our students are knowledgeable within SAP and can manage a business that delivers tangible benefits (return on investment).
