Demonstrate advanced competencies in one of the focus areas of integrated supply chain management. 4. Appreciate the challenges of scheduling and executing a plan through an integrated supply chain, including but not limited to: procurement, production, and resources. 5. Have the ability to assess and understand the complexity of costs throughout the supply chain. 6. Have the ability to acquire and analyze pertinent supply chain data from computer information systems. 7. Demonstrate collaboration, innovation, effective communication, and leadership skills of a supply chain professional. 8. Have the ability to discern and act upon opportunities for improvement across the focus areas of the supply chain. INTRODUCTION The Master of Science in Integrated Supply Chain Management is an online program designed to accommodate the needs of working adults who want to pursue a degree while remaining employed. The degree program is open to persons who hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in business administration, industrial technology management, industrial engineering, or a related field.

The program provides professionals with a convenient, practical, and high-quality course of study that allows them to develop the skills needed to manage today’s supply chain while earning graduate credits toward an advanced degree. The curriculum of this program analyzes the supply chain from three different perspectives. This integrated approach examines the interplay and coordination of business, industrial studies, and engineering while providing students with real-world capabilities. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INTEGRATED SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Those seeking admission to the Master of Science in Integrated Supply Chain Management must have earned a bachelor’s degree from a nationally or regionally accredited institution in business administration, industrial technology management, industrial engineering, or a related field. International degrees will be evaluated on an individual basis. To be eligible for admission in full standing, a student must have an overall undergraduate grade point average of 2.75 or above, or 2.90 on the last 60 credits from the degree-granting institution.
