About the Supply Chain Management Degree and Minor

Explore Your Path in Supply Chain Management

You’ll gain practical skills in logistics, supplier relationship management, quality improvement, and risk mitigation—essential for managing today’s complex global networks.

Supply Chain Focus (for Management Majors)
Pursue a concentration in supply chain as part of your B.S.B. in Management by completing 12 credit hours. You’ll take three core courses plus one elective tailored to your interests and career goals.

Supply Chain Minor (for All Majors)
Complement any major with a 15-credit minor in supply chain management. You’ll complete four required courses and one elective, equipping you with in-demand skills to stand out in any industry.

 

As an AACSB Accredited Business School - a standard of quality and excellence held by fewer than 5% of business schools worldwide - you are guaranteed an education that meets industry expectations and prepares you to make an immediate impact. Every business major will walk away with a toolbelt ready for any business endeavor.
