Overview
Supply chain and logistics management focuses on operations, sourcing, logistics, and supply chain analytics. The MBA prepares graduates for careers across service and manufacturing industries, nonprofit organizations and government agencies. The master's degree offers opportunities to specialize in areas like analytics, natural resources or pharmacy supply chains. The graduate certificate is a shorter, focused curriculum to refresh or upgrade your skills — and credits earned can be applied toward the MBA.
Over the past two decades, the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs has contributed to a decline in innovation across key sectors. Today, global disruptions — from pandemics to climate change to geopolitical conflict — highlight the urgent need for professionals trained to manage complex supply chains and build resilient operations.
Well-prepared operations and supply chain leaders are also in demand at global companies, including those operating across the Asia-Pacific Rim.
