General Statement

The Supply Chain Management concentration is primarily concerned with the efficient coordination of the processes through which suppliers, factories, warehouses, distribution centers, and retail outlets produce and distribute items to the right customers, at the right time, and at the right price to minimize costs while satisfying a certain level of service. Our BBA degree with a concentration in Supply Chain Management (SCM) emphasizes the four important areas of: Sourcing (global strategic procurement, supply contract negotiation); Supply (production, quality management and service operations); Delivery (logistics, transportation, demand fulfillment); and E-business/ information systems (critical enabler of supply chain efficiencies and responsiveness).

Supported by several Fortune 500 companies, up to 16 scholarships are awarded annually to graduate and undergraduate majors in Supply Chain Management.
