Masters Programs for Supply Chain Management 

This cohort-based program emphasizes a community of learners, limits cohort size and incorporates company-related projects to ensure that participants receive an educational experience relevant to their specific career objectives. Cohorts for this 36-unit program are typically scheduled to begin February and July.  

The MS-SCM consists of two Phases, each requiring a year for completion. There is a two-month break between Phase I and II allowing students time for reflection and rejuvenation.

Such improvements reduce time-to-market and improve quality and the inflow of technology from the firm's supply base, thereby increasing market share and profitability. These improvements also result in reductions in the total cost of ownership for purchased materials, services, and equipment. Addresses supply management's role in: social responsibilities, buyer-supplier relationships, ethics, cross-functional teams, quality, price and cost analysis, methods of compensation, total cost of ownership, the development of requirements, acquisition of services and equipment, outsourcing, global sourcing, postaward activities, and legal issues. 

MSCM 553 Logistics & Supply Chain Systems (3 credits)

Provides an understanding of supply chain dynamics and analytical methods used to analyze, plan, and manage supply chain operations. Topics include: e-commerce, supply chain problems and issues, analytic techniques and applications used to address supply chain planning and management, and a comparative foundation of current industry applications, their benefits, and limitations. 

MSCM 574 Global Supply Management (1 credit)

World Class Supply ManagementSM requires active participation in the global marketplace. While many processes and practices are the same nationally and globally, many nuances exist when dealing with a global supply base. This course addresses these nuances, with a strong focus on cultural issues.
