The Web-based Master of Science in Supply Chain Management (MS-SCM) is designed for high-performing managers and executives who have an established track record of success in one or more of the functions included in supply chain management. Participants gain advanced expertise needed to help their firms progress to world class supply chain management status, with significant improvment in their firm's profitability.
This 36-unit program consists of two phases. Phase I of the program is the Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain Management (GC-SCM). Students have the option of completing Phase I only and receiving a Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain Management. Upon successful completion of Phase I (GPA 3.0 or higher), students may matriculate into Phase II and complete the MS-SCM.
The MS-SCM program is offered online in a lock-step, cohort-based format and requires 26 months for completion. There is a two month break between Phase I and II, which each require one year for completion. This break allows students time for reflection and rejuvenation. The delivery format employs a blended approach to learning, whereby students spend 11 days on campus per year and complete the remainder of the instruction via online learning. The regular online interaction makes it possible for students to interact with their instructors and fellow students in a user friendly manner.
