SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Supply chain management is a rapidly growing field, one that’s continually evolving thanks to advancing technology and increased international competition. Today's supply chain professionals must be familiar with an array of skills to position resources — people, money, machinery, facilities, material and information — effectively.

UW-Whitewater’s robust supply chain management major provides the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this tech-driven industry, as well as the interpersonal and communication skills you’ll need to collaborate with co-workers at all levels of your organization.

Professionals with a degree in supply chain management are in high demand — and they can work in almost every industry imaginable. For example, over the next 10 years, demand for logisticians in the U.S. is expected to grow by 45,800 jobs, much faster than other occupations.

In addition to our on-campus program, we offer the same high-quality curriculum and instruction in an online format.

You’ll find dozens of other student clubs and organizations in our department and across campus. Here are a few that might interest students wanting to learn more about logistics, supply chain, operations, and project management:

• Enactus
• ISACA — Information systems/cybersecurity student group
• American Marketing Association
