Supply Chain Management, Minor

The supply chain management minor is open to nonbusiness undergraduate students with any major and is comprised of contemporary courses taught from a global business perspective. Intended for future leaders, this minor intends to prepare students to understand and use supply chain tools and apply that framework to effectively manage numerous opportunities and risks across today’s global supply chains. The minor includes both fundamental courses and those geared toward more specific management and analytical challenges. These courses include real-world case examples, grounded in relevant theories and principles. Learning is reinforced through various analytical tools that are designed to develop necessary skills and knowledge for tomorrow’s work environment. Students have the opportunity to explore specific practice areas, such as analytics, healthcare operations, negotiating, demand planning, and logistics/transportation. In addition, the minor offers students an opportunity to gain insight and develop perspectives for important topics such as deglobalization/globalization and emerging technologies, such as blockchain, additive manufacturing, and smart robotics.

Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified. Only four credits may be double counted toward a different minor.
