Gain the advanced knowledge and skills to manage, analyze and control activities across the entire supply chain from upstream procurement and logistics to downstream distribution channels with Maryland's first Master of Science degree program in supply chain management.
The supply chain management field is growing tremendously with the combination of globalization, competition and increasing environmental concerns. Organizations are looking to their supply chains to find value, cost savings, innovation, and competitive edge, and they need the experts to do just that.

Specific job functions may vary, including buyer, negotiating supply contracts, inventory manager, import and export manager, transportation and logistics manager, supplier selection and development, warehousing, e-commerce, operations, technology and customer relationship management.
