Logistics and Global Operations

Keeping the economy moving.

Over the past several years, we’ve seen firsthand the importance of the global supply chain — and ensuring materials and goods are transported on time and on budget around the world. Even minor disruptions in a company’s supply chain can cause global shortages. Logistics professionals play a critical role in today’s fast-changing economy by managing the flow of goods and helping to improve business processes. These business process improvements include the ethical sourcing of materials and sustainability strategies that directly affect the global ecosystem.

Whether a graduate is pursuing a career focused in products or services, understanding the upstream and downstream supply of goods and services from provider to customer helps graduates understand an organization across all departments. No matter the business or organization, receiving materials or data, transforming those items into something of value, and delivering that value to customers is critical to success.

With small class sizes, experienced and knowledgeable faculty members, applied exercises, and business relationships brought directly into the classroom, students pursuing an education in logistics and global operations will have all the tools they need to be successful post-graduation.
