Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Concentration in Operations and Supply Chain Management

Modern Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) is about much more than operations and logistics.

The discipline seeks to equip students with the cross-disciplinary knowledge and skills to succeed as a strategic supply chain leader in today’s sophisticated global economy, identifying, creating and managing opportunities for reducing costs, driving growth and building sustainable competitive advantages. OSCM is a relatively new highly specialized field in many business schools worldwide. The program offers challenging but rewarding careers. To succeed therein, general business knowledge plus an understanding of economics, accounting, business operations and strategies are essential. OSCM involves the flows of materials and information among all of the firms that contribute value to a product or a service, from the source of raw materials to end customers.
