The Seidman ERP Program Curriculum Options

When considering what route you should take within the ERP Program, it’s important to ask yourself how in depth you want to get. Business and non-business students can simply take a class or two, obtain the SAP® Recognition Award designation, work their way through the MIS emphasis within a degree, or delve into the two week intensive SAP® certification academy.
