Run systems the world depends on.
Every hospital, factory, retailer and platform relies on invisible systems that coordinate people, data, materials and decisions. When those systems break or need to adapt, the consequences and benefits are immediate.
In our Master of Supply Chain Management (MSCM) program at Weatherhead School of Management, we prepare you to design, analyze and lead systems in a rapidly evolving global environment.
This STEM-designated program combines advanced analytics, AI-enabled tools and real-world projects to prepare you for key roles in manufacturing, retail, healthcare and other system-intensive industries—especially when information is incomplete and tradeoffs matter.
