In the Master of
Science in Supply Chain Management (MS-SCMT) students explore the key issues associated
with the design and management of industrial supply chains, including methods
for improving supply chain operations by lowering costs, speeding delivery,
improving quality and expanding variety. The ultimate objective is to use
SCM to mold traditional business operations into competitive tools for today's
global economy. Students acquire not only fundamental knowledge of
business management but also analytical decision-making skills (especially for
complex systems) along with real-life experiences gained through projects with
area companies.
The Master of Science
in Supply Chain Management is designed for students with or without previous
educational background in this area.�
Courses are primarily offered in the late afternoon and evening of weekdays.� Several courses are currently offered and are
planned to be offered through the World Wide Web.� Students can obtain a dual MBA and MS degree
by taking a total of 71 credits (assuming all prerequisites are met).� This serves students who would like to get
additional SCM skills at a reduced cost.�
