The Master of Science in Supply Chain Management Tri-Continent degree program approaches supply chain management from an integrative perspective that includes economics, operations, logistics, risk management, leadership and IT. This truly global program takes place on three continents. Students will spend the first semester in Hamburg (Germany), the second semester in Shanghai (China), and the third semester in Knoxville (Tennessee, U.S.). The final semester is dedicated to a capstone project similar to a master’s thesis.

Careers Higher supply chain volumes and greater operational complexities are creating increased demand for professionals at every level of the supply chain, from the frontlines to senior executives. As the economy continues to recover and more Baby Boomers reach retirement age, those shortages are likely only to increase. Companies are beginning to see a marked advantage in having a chief supply chain officer and leveraging this field to increase their business. Our program prepares students to approach their careers with precisely this goal in mind.
