What is Supply Chain Management?

Supply Chain Management is one of the most important functions in manufacturing. This major studies how raw materials become end products. You'll study the procurement, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of industrial and commercial materials. You'll also take part in a 10- to 12-week summer internship. This program will help you develop vision, versatility, leadership, communication skills, and technical competence. Your degree will prepare you to be an entry-level manager able to meet today's requirements for business success.
