Bachelor of Business Administration in Supply Chain Management

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is both an art and a science. It is a discipline focused on planning and forecasting, purchasing, product assembly, moving, storage, distribution, sales, and customer service – in short, all of the activities that take place to get the right product into the right hands in the right quantity at the right time. Supply chain management professionals are involved in every facet of the business process and strive to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage by building and delivering products better, faster and at a better value. To achieve success, SCM professionals must work across disciplines, interacting with nearly every department in an organization. The SCM program provides students with basic knowledge of supply chain management, such as distribution strategies, planning, and procurement, while also working on their communication, negotiation, and leadership abilities. The academic program is complemented by seminars and career fairs to share best industry practices from the leaders in the market, introduce and acquaint students with the variety of jobs and responsibilities in supply-chain, and help them identify their area of interest. The SCM program provides opportunities for students to learn about supply chain management in an integrated business framework from distinguished faculty and regional industry experts in the area of supply chain management. The program prepares students to operate and lead major aspects of the supply system in established and start-up firms. The curriculum focuses on providing knowledge on topics of practical skills and competencies: Supply Chain Principles, Transportation and Logistics Management, Procurement, Warehousing, and Inventory Management. Courses balance theory and practice in supply chain management to bridge the gap between academic and business practices and devise innovative research and teaching methods.
