The Bachelor of Science in Project and Supply Chain Management

At the same time, the continuing globalization of business functions creates a growing need for people who can effectively manage supply chains, Whether they are acquiring raw materials or distributing finished products, supply chain managers are critical to organizational success.
Why Major in Project and Supply Chain Management?
The Project and Supply Chain Management (PSCM) major concentrates on developing knowledge, skills, and abilities in both project and supply chain management, dynamic and important disciplines in modern corporations.

The PCSM major provides students with an opportunity to develop the quantitative and people skills necessary to design and operate today’s complex management systems.
