The Supply Chain Management concentration addresses the need for professional knowledge and skills relating to supply chain management, strategic logistics, procurement logistics and global supply chain design management. As global operations continue to become more complex, corporations and the consulting firms that serve them are moving quickly to hire people with supply chain management expertise. But these experts are in short supply. The Deese College’s MBA concentration in supply chain management prepares students to fill the market demands caused by the expanding business landscape and the growing demand for these professionals. Our graduates may work in sectors such as food production, technology, consumer products, retailing and health care.

Our Supply Chain Management MBA concentration will teach you how to use analytics to improve operational effectiveness and make the supply chain a source of competitive advantage; analyze relationships and interactions with supply chain partners through ethical and legal lenses; assess supply chains for efficiency and effectiveness; evaluate the effect of individual processes on the supply chain as a whole; and use a systems approach to interpret the interrelationships and competitive advantage of an efficient and effective supply chain. The A&T MBA is among the state’s most affordable and holds the gold standard in business education accreditation from AACSB International. Our business program has been accredited since 1979.
