With a master's in supply chain management, you will do more than just learn about the latest best practices. A case-based curriculum with simulations will improve your existing skills in negotiations, cost management and sustainability.
Our flexible online format means you can learn at your own pace and still work regular hours. You will be able to immediately apply every new innovative strategy you learn directly to your job. While our classes are web-based, you will still get face-to-face time with faculty and classmates during our five on-campus interactive sessions.
While you are in business school, you will have access to our Supply Chain Management Institute, where you can further your professional development by attending workshops that expose you to the latest trends in areas such as transportation strategies, strategic sourcing and risk management.
The first of its kind.
Our AACSB-accredited master's in supply chain management program is the first U.S. degree accredited by the Chartered Institute for Purchasing and Supply (CIPS).
