MS Global Supply Chain Management Curriculum

Global supply chain experts are lynchpin professionals who optimize operations, reduce risk and cost and ensure goods make it to shelves reliably to meet consumer demand. 

The Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business prepares students for the current and future landscape of global supply chains, providing skills to manage supply chains from raw materials, through manufacturing, to distribution. Our MSGSCM program focuses equally on both technologies and techniques and puts students to work on real industry projects derived either from outside organizations or Purdue University that are centered on solving problems in global supply chain. Foundational courses elevate your technical and communication skills and select from a variety of electives that allow you to achieve your aspirations.
