Well, as I posted in the other section, APICS is a great resource for Op Mgmt credits. (I think I'm starting to sound like a shill :eek 
The CPIM certification consists of 5 computer-based tests that must be taken in person at a Pearson-Vue center. You can take all tests individually, but you get the best value by taking them all within a year.
Annual (test-taking) membership is $220. Each test is $190 with membership or $290 without. All tests are timed for 3 hours. BSCM is 105 questions, the rest are 75 each. Scoring is scaled from 200-350. You must get a score of 300+ to pass (about 75%).
CPIM-Basics of Supply Chain Management - 3 credits OPM-301 (may come in as LL for other schools besides TESU)
CPIM-Strategic Management of Resources - 3 credits OPM-470
CPIM-Master Planning of Resources - 2 credits OPM-313?
CPIM-Detailed Scheduling & Planning - 2 credits OPM-331?
CPIM-Execution & Control of Operations - 2 credits OPM-332?
The TESU course codes are correct, I just don't know for sure which test corresponds to which course.
$1170 for 12 credits if you do it in a year (with membership), so less than $100 each.
CSCP is the other cert they offer. I do not recommend this one for college credit. The cost is $695+ for 3 credits, and you must have either 3 years industry experience, a bachelors, or the previous CPIM cert to take this. The only way this would be worth it is if the school accepts it as 3 credits of graduate level courses, which NCCRS does recommend it for.

Cool idea, not sure I have time to help though. I have clicked around at random a few times to see if anything looks promising.
Microsoft has a list of courses but I don't know all the details. Their MTA exams might be 50 dollars plus proctoring? MTA exam vouchers
