A Supply Chain Management (SCM) major builds on the business core with coursework in logistics, procurement and sourcing, inventory and warehouse management, demand forecasting, transportation, operations management, and supply-chain analytics. Most programs are a 4-year BBA or BS that mixes quantitative methods (statistics, spreadsheet and ERP modeling, optimization) with hands-on study of how real supplier networks are designed and run, often capped by a practicum, simulation, or internship.

Graduates coordinate the flow of materials and products end to end: planning supply against demand, negotiating with vendors, routing freight, and using data to cut cost and delay. The major pairs naturally with Information Technology, Data Science, or general Business coursework, and several professional certifications (such as APICS/ASCM CPIM and CSCP) build on its foundation.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of logisticians, a primary occupation for SCM graduates, to grow 16.7% from 2024 to 2034, with a 2024 median wage of $80,880 and a typical entry-level requirement of a bachelor's degree.
