The MBA-SCM is a specialized track within the MBA program. Supply chain management is an approach to coordinating the functions, processes and enterprises associated with the order-fulfillment cycle. A supply chain typically extends across multiple tiers, including manufacturers and their suppliers, transportation carriers, warehouses, retailers and the customers themselves. SCM focuses on the integration across functions within a firm as well as across enterprise lines. The MBA-SCM track has the same number of credits as the MBA program. The first 34 credits of the track are the MBA core. Students then take specialized concentration courses to complete the 46 credits required for the MBA. A student interested in the MBA-SCM track should indicate this to his/her adviser early in their program.
