3rd International ERPsim Competition

I am pleased to report that the University of Arkansas team was ranked #1 (out of 41 teams from 20 universities worldwide) in the qualifying round for the 3rd International ERPsim Competition. The UA team is composed of 3 Professional MIS students who recently completed our ERP Certificate curriculum as part of their graduate degree program. The final competition will be held on Saturday, June 20 at 9:00 AM Central, and will be covered live via twitter. For more info go to http://erpsim.hec.ca/competition.

ERP Certificate - Possible Second Summer Session!

The past month or so has been jam packed as we started the ERP Fundamentals class (the first course in the ERP Certificate program). The first class is going very well and I am pleased to report that we have received enough additional interest that we are considering offering another ERP Fundamentals class beginning in July!

If you are interested in starting the ERP Certificate program this summer, there is still time to apply - if we receive enough applications, we will be able to repeat the first class so that you can continue in the fall and spring with ERP courses that will build on what you learn this summer.

You can apply online here. Please submit your application ASAP to be considered for the summer class, and help us spread the word to others who may be interested.
