As long as goods are made in one place and buyers are in another, there will always be a demand for supply chain talent—particularly as globalization becomes standard practice for virtually every industry. The importance of this discipline to the bottom line is why many supply chain executives are integral participants on senior management and boardroom teams.

Nova Southeastern University's STEM-designated M.B.A. in Supply Chain Management and Operational Systems covers the strategy and execution of ensuring efficient, profitable movement and storage of goods, from point of origin to consumption, including both domestic and international sourcing. You’ll pair this specialized knowledge with the advanced business foundation gained in your core M.B.A. curriculum.

Your completed degree empowers you to hit the ground running—ready to make informed and valuable contributions to your organization’s supply chain management and decision-making processes.
