Overview
A Bachelor of Business Administration in Supply Chain Management (SCM) will prepare you to plan and control all activities along the supply chain — a network of companies that produce, move, store, and transform materials into finished products and services for eventual consumption by the end-user. Globalization and the rise of world-class competitors have increasingly forced companies to improve the performance of their supply chain operations in order to remain competitive. As a result, demand by major corporations for students with specific supply chain management knowledge and skills has increased over the last decade. Graduates in SCM work in diverse areas, such as strategic sourcing and supply management, project management, production planning and scheduling, and inventory and materials management.
