Supply Chain Management (M.S.)

Why Earn a Master’s Degree in Supply Chain Management?

The supply chain management field is growing tremendously with the combination of globalization, competition and increasing environmental concerns. Organizations are looking to their supply chains to find value, cost savings, innovation and competitive edge, and they need the experts to do that.

Almost every industry and company, from a small business to a Fortune 500 company, appreciates the knowledge and skills of supply chain management professionals, including manufacturing, third-party service firms, retailers, government, and educational institutions. Specific job functions may vary, including buyer, negotiating supply contracts, inventory manager, import and export manager, transportation and logistics manager, supplier selection and development, warehousing, e-commerce, operations, technology and customer relationship management.

Combined B.S./M.S Program

Complete your undergraduate and graduate degrees in a shorter time frame through the combined B.S./M.S. supply chain management program. 

Who is the Program for?

Our program works for both supply chain professionals and individuals in other careers who see the opportunities in supply chain expertise and want to gain specialized knowledge. Our program gives a 360-degree approach that covers logistics, distribution, technology, procurement and project management. We’ve had students who’ve said, “My whole career has been in procurement. I'm a supply chain professional.” They're absolutely correct, but they’ve never seen the rest of the supply chain. Our program works for multiple profiles to bring everybody full circle. Students can take this program completely in the evenings without sacrificing their current jobs and careers and still complete the degree in two years.
