PROGRAM AVAILABLE AT ALL OTHER LISTED CAMPUSES.

Program Description

The Project and Supply Chain Management major concentrates on developing knowledge, skills, and abilities in both project and supply chain management, dynamic and important disciplines in modern corporations. Project management skills include the development of new projects, and coordinating procurement and project delivery systems. Supply chain management emphasizes the integration of manufacturing and service operations, logistics, purchasing, and distribution that enable organizations to develop value-creating supply chain networks. The major provides students with an opportunity to develop the quantitative and people skills necessary to design and operate today's complex management systems. Students learn how to manage critical components in organizational supply chains, and apply business analytic methods for organizing and fully integrating supply chain practices throughout the organization.

Graduates are uniquely well-prepared for careers in some of the highest in-demand professions in the modern business and government environments, managing the supply chain and project initiatives in world-class business firms, public sector organizations, construction, IT organizations, third-party logistics providers, and goods and services distribution operations.

What is Project and Supply Chain Management?

It has been estimated that well over half of all activities in modern corporations are project-based. From developing a new product to constructing a new building, the list of efforts that organizations must plan, manage, and deliver (ideally on time and under budget) is nearly endless. At the same time, globalization creates a growing need for professionals who can effectively manage complex supply chains. The study of project and supply chain management emphasizes the integration of manufacturing and service operations, logistics, purchasing, and distribution—the functions that enable organizations to cultivate value-creating supply chain networks.

General Education

Connecting career and curiosity, the General Education curriculum provides the opportunity for students to acquire transferable skills necessary to be successful in the future and to thrive while living in interconnected contexts. General Education aids students in developing intellectual curiosity, a strengthened ability to think, and a deeper sense of aesthetic appreciation. These are requirements for all baccalaureate students and are often partially incorporated into the requirements of a program. For additional information, see the General Education Requirements section of the Bulletin and consult your academic adviser.

Limitations on Source and Time for Credit Acquisition

The college dean or campus chancellor and program faculty may require up to 24 credits of course work in the major to be taken at the location or in the college or program where the degree is earned. Credit used toward degree programs may need to be earned from a particular source or within time constraints (see Senate Policy 83-80).

Program Learning Objectives

Develop business skills and abilities to communicate effectively in both speech and writing.
Demonstrate strong leadership and teamwork skills necessary for managing modern businesses.
Demonstrate the ability to think critically and solve problems in the business environment.
Demonstrate an awareness of ethical issues, social responsibilities, sustainability, and conflict resolution.
Demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary for managing modern businesses with the focus of designing and managing modern supply chain networks, including integrated operations, manufacturing, logistics, purchasing and distribution for value-creating, ERP-supported networks.
Demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities of organizing and managing projects in modern organizations. These project management skills include project portfolio management, scheduling and coordinating resources, planning and controlling projects, and risk and change management.

Academic Advising

The objectives of the university's academic advising program are to help advisees identify and achieve their academic goals, to promote their intellectual discovery, and to encourage students to take advantage of both in-and out-of class educational opportunities in order that they become self-directed learners and decision makers.

Both advisers and advisees share responsibility for making the advising relationship succeed. By encouraging their advisees to become engaged in their education, to meet their educational goals, and to develop the habit of learning, advisers assume a significant educational role. The advisee's unit of enrollment will provide each advisee with a primary academic adviser, the information needed to plan the chosen program of study, and referrals to other specialized resources.

Program Notes:

STAT 200: Students must not delay taking STAT 200 past semester 4, as it is a prerequisite for FIN 301 and SCM 301. It is also part of the criteria for entrance into the PSCM major.
BA 321 and BA 322 count as this degree’s 6 credits in a business-supporting area. This degree’s 12 credits of supporting courses/related areas (sometimes called PSCM electives) reside in MIS 404 (3 credits), BA 495A (6 credits), and one other course (3 credits) of the student’s choosing in coordination with adviser.
A student's career/graduate school plans should be considered in developing an individualized academic plan. Be sure to consult an adviser in this department and your Degree Audit when scheduling courses. The Degree Audit in LionPATH is your official check of graduation requirements.
