Admission Resources
Program Overview
The Supply Chain Management program makes students proficient supply chain managers, which is an advantage for you in the job market after graduation. You’ll be prepared for a career as a buyer, inventory manager, materials analyst, and purchasing agent, as well as a director or vice president of supply chain management. In addition to coursework in supply chain management, you’ll become fluent in many aspects of business, including accounting, finance, economics, human resources, marketing statistics, information technology, and law. You’ll also take specialized classes that dive deeper into logistics, operations management and business-to-business procurement.
Supply Chain Management will teach you about scheduling and planning, inventory control, and quality management. You’ll explore the specifics of how items are physically moved through a supply chain, including shipment, warehousing, and distribution. Your core classes will educate you on international trade, new product development, and price negotiation. You’ll consider the ethical dimensions of these negotiations through the lens of Christian values.
Supply chain managers are responsible for the movement and storage of inventory—both raw materials and finished goods—from the point of origin to the point of consumption. They are often responsible for reverse supply chain management, which can include the return, recycling, and disposal of products. These positions are in high demand because businesses are placing greater emphasis on supply chain expertise to maintain competitiveness in their industries. Supply chain managers also enjoy increased opportunities for career advancement as they take on responsibilities for new product development, manufacturing, budgeting and even managing strategy for an organization.
