Bachelor of Science in Supply Chain Management
Today’s global marketplace and competitive business environment demand that corporations expertly match supply for their products with customer demand. Online companies and brick and mortar retailers alike depend on supply chain professionals to maximize efficiency in each step of the production process. Results of successful supply chain management include increased profitability, seamless logistics and customer satisfaction.
Students who pursue a degree in supply chain management are strong problem-solvers with a keen eye for detail. They identify vulnerabilities in operations and propose solutions to improve or to maintain efficiency. Through the supply chain management program, students learn to communicate solutions in terms that resonate with corporate executives, connecting the supply chain to a company’s overall viability.
