“In response to regional and national needs the new bachelor of science in SCM program will be a complement to our robust business and management academic offerings and will train and provide professionals for this in-demand field,” said Angela Tekely, vice president for Academic Affairs and Provost.
The core curriculum for SCM focuses on the areas of operational effectiveness, quality management and continuous improvement, risk management, and global logistics. Students will have both the broad business skills and specific technical skills related to supply chain management to thrive. Partnering with an appointed SCM advisory group, students will have the opportunity to work hands-on with regional businesses within multiple supply chain industries. Students also complete a three-credit internship.
