USC Marshall School of Business Launches Online Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management

The USC Marshall School of Business announces a new Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management (MSGSCM). The 16-month online program, which will admit applicants beginning in April for Fall 2013, will cultivate leaders and specialists in a multitrillion-dollar industry that is expected to grow at an annual rate of eight percent globally.

Designed for professionals who live and work in North America, the Asia-Pacific region-specifically the India subcontinent, Greater China, and South Korea, the Global Supply Chain Management degree program will be available to the students both synchronously and asynchronously via the Internet.

The comprehensive program focuses on both academics and practical applications, and includes two experiential trips to global logistics hubs in Los Angeles and Singapore. Online courses will offer the flexibility to access lectures anywhere, anytime. Integration of webinars and other online resources will be used to further enhance the program.
Classes will be taught in English by faculty at the USC Marshall School of Business and enrolled students will have the opportunity to earn Lean Six-Sigma certification.

“Our program is designed with the working professional in mind, combining flexibility with rigorous academics, hands-on learning, global network and international travel,” said faculty director Dr. Ravi Kumar. “Given the growing opportunities in the field, Marshall’s Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management comes at the perfect time.”
