Supply Chain Management

Through this STEM-designated M.B.A. program, you'll become an expert in both the analytic and the technical methods you need to optimize supply chain systems. 
    
You'll learn about the process of transferring raw materials into finished goods, and the links between manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, and vendors—all crucial parts of the business process in supply chain management.

As a result of this well-rounded education, our students have won scholarships and national honors from supply chain organizations including the Containerization & Intermodal Institute and the Council for Supply Chain Management Professionals. We also have an active student chapter of the Association for Supply Chain Management (APICS), the premier professional association for supply chain management and operations.
