USF’s Supply Chain Management degree prepares you to solve problems and meet organizational goals in settings including business logistics, distribution, supply chain management and domestic and international transportation management.<\/p>\n

Supply Chain Managers are responsible for the entire flow of supply for a business, creating and delivering the products and services to the customer.<\/p>\n

Supply Chain Management includes demand planning, supplier management, manufacturing, operations, logistics, transportation and distribution. This degree prepares you to solve problems and meet organizational goals in settings including corporate logistics, business expansions, and both domestic and international transportation management.<\/p>\n

Best yet, USF\u2019s Joliet location in Will County is home of North America\u2019s largest inland port. This transportation hub area has eight major rail lines, important truck freight distribution routes, and extensive warehouse and distribution facilities. Logistics and related businesses are the county\u2019s third largest employer, with continuing growth expected. In the U.S., supply chain jobs encompass over one third of all employment (HBR<\/em> 2018).<\/p>\n

A growing professional future<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

The pandemic reminded us how critical supply chain and logistics are across every part of the world’s economy. From computer chips to cars, food to pharmaceuticals– physical goods simply can\u2019t reach their destination without the systems and logistical services needed to get them there.<\/p>\n

In Logistics Management\u2019s<\/em> Annual Salary Survey for 2020, researchers noted that logistics salaries skyrocketed. The recent Supply Chain Salary and Career Survey Report<\/em> from ASCM showed that supply chain professionals with at least a bachelor\u2019s degree reported a median salary of $78,750, according to ASCM\u2019s Survey Report<\/a>. That is 24% higher than the national median salary.<\/p>\n

A short step to a graduate degree<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

An added benefit, seniors who feel inspired to keep studying to obtain an MBA or M.S. degree may take graduate-level courses during their last two semesters for dual undergraduate and graduate credit. That means students can take nine graduate-level credit hours during senior year, and can complete their MBA or M.S. one year after graduating if they attend full time. See course catalog for additional details about the \u201c3 to Degree\u201d program.<\/p>\n
