Request from the W.P. Carey School of Business – Office of the Dean – for the establishment of a graduate degree program – MS in Supply Chain Management and Engineering

Action Requested:

The Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee recommends University Senate approval of a proposal submitted by the W.P. Carey School of Business – Office of the Dean – for the establishment of a graduate degree program – MS in Supply Chain Management and Engineering

Rationale:

The Master of Science in Supply Chain Management and Engineering (MS-SCME) will be a two year, 30 credit hour program for working professionals in supply chain management, industrial engineering or a related field that consists of 15 credit hours of courses from the Department of Supply Chain Management in the W. P. Carey School of Business and 15 credit hours from the Industrial Engineering program in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. Most students will have an undergraduate degree in a technical field, such as business, engineering, or science. The objective is twofold: (1) to provide students with knowledge of the fundamental foundations across the full spectrum of supply chain management functions, and (2) the ability to use state-of-the-art engineering tools to analyze, control, and optimize modern supply chains. The initial offering of the degree will be online.
