Bachelor of Science in International Business with Concentration in Supply Chain Management

BS in International Business (BSIB) degree has offered a unique program to undergraduate business students: integrated learning through academic and experiential opportunities. The BSIB Program immerses students in a foreign culture to experience the academic, professional and personal components of the global marketplace. A supply chain manager is typically involved in making critical decisions about such matters as the modes of transportation used to move the company’s materials and products, inventory policies, warehousing needs, customer service standards, and the location of facilities. As companies become increasingly involved in global markets as both buyers and sellers, supply chain managers play a major role not only in assessing the feasibility of international activity but also in developing supply and distribution networks to support that involvement. Because supply chain managers frequently interact with those involved in other areas of management, many supply chain management students have chosen to complete a second concentration in such areas as marketing, information management, finance, or international business. In addition to finding career opportunities with manufacturers, retailers, and distributors, supply chain management students may find similar opportunities with companies that sell supply chain services or transportation services in the marketplace. Consulting firms and government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels provide other career options.
