Supply chain management (SCM) builds and prepares students for careers as analysts, decision-makers, and managers in all segments of an organization’s supply, and production distribution chain. Students who complete this program will have a fundamental understanding of the systematic, integrated nature of the creation and delivery of goods and services, and the way the supply, production, and distribution chain includes or involves other internal and external entities.
