Curriculum / Program Requirements

The Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management degree requires 24 units completed within 16 months. The program is completed on a parttime basis. Because the program is considered part-time, international students may complete the program online only, unless they are already in the US, on a valid non-student US visa. This is a lock-step program wherein students take all classes together, will work together as teams and will be part of a cohort and life-long friends.

The program includes two 1.5-unit experiential learning trips:

  • Singapore (world-class logistics facilities)
  • Los Angeles (world-class customers and their requirements)
