Lean Six Sigma Green Belt is a noncredit, professional development program that gives participants the skills to improve work processes with a disciplined, data-driven approach and teaches proven methods to analyze and solve problems.
Past participants in the program indicated that they valued the face-to-face interaction with the instructor and their fellow students, but that they would also welcome the convenience of online learning for particular components of the program. The new format provides a best of both worlds situation.
A demonstration of the online portion of the Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate and further information is available at this website.
Other online programs are available for those seeking to renew their credentials and move ahead in their careers. Health Care Risk Management makes its debut in a completely online format in the fall.

In addition, UD’s RN Refresher Online is designed to help nurses expand their professional options. It is ideal for those who have been out of active nursing practice and wish to update their competence and return to a clinical setting, or for those who need to meet a continuing education requirement in order to renew or maintain their nursing license.
