Supply Chain MSM-BA Concentration

Program Overview

The Master of Science in Supply Chain Management (SCM) is offered for students who want to pursue advanced study in Supply Chain operations.

The MSM-BA-SCM degree recognizes that analytics is now central to how supply chains are established, organized, and managed through sourcing, operations, and logistics. It is built on five core courses about how and why businesses use analytics; how data is served through databases and used through business intelligence; and how analytics models are created, evaluated, and used.

The Master of Science in Management -Business Analytics (MSM-BA) in Supply Chain Management is approved as a federal STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recognizes graduates of this program residing on student visas as eligible for an optional practical training (OPT) extension. While regular international students are able to remain in the country and receive training through work experience for up to 12 months, students who graduate from a designated STEM degree program, such as our MSM in Information Systems program, may be eligible for an additional 24 months on an OPT STEM extension.

Information on the standard OPT and STEM OPT extension can be found on the International Center website.
