Online Master of Supply Chain Transportation & Logistics

Courses & Degree Requirements

To earn the online Master of Supply Chain Transportation & Logistics degree, you must successfully complete nine courses. Most students complete the requirements in a two-year period (part-time). A one-year (full-time) program is also possible, and some students take three or more years. We offer a two-year sequence, which is most typical.

Curriculum

The coursework covers advanced concepts in transportation and logistics that impact supply chain management. The four curricular themes are data-driven decision-making, integration and collaboration, critical thinking and presentation skills.

Required courses: 501, 502, 506, 507, 508, 511
Elective courses: 500, 503, 504, 505, 510, (and CET568, if needed)

All courses are delivered fully online except for the first one, Introduction to Supply Chain Transportation & Logistics, which is offered both in-person and online during the Residency Weekend.

At the end of the program, students will complete a practicum project to apply their new knowledge and skills to a real-world business problem.
