Supply Chain Management (SCM) is concerned with the efficient integration of suppliers, factories, warehouses and stores so that products are distributed to customers in the right quantity, at the right time and at low cost. SCM integrates supply-and-demand management within and across companies. Because of this integration, the need for SCM expertise has grown dramatically in recent years. Our MS SCM degree program teaches design and management of industrial supply chains, including how to improve operations and how to resolve key issues. SCM graduates use their analytical decision-making skills and advanced knowledge to address supply chain concerns that arise as operations become increasingly more sophisticated. Supply chain management is the management of business activities from product development, sourcing, production and logistics to managing the resources and related capabilities the organization needs in the attainment of its strategic objectives. The MS SCM program provides students with advanced knowledge on how to identify, resolve and manage complex operational problems.
Degree Plan The MS SCM degree is designed for students with or without previous educational background in this area. At least 36 credit hours of management course work beyond prerequisite courses is required, including 9 hours of basic business core courses, 9 hours of required core courses, 15 hours of electives and 3 hours of either supply chain technology based course or any graduate course (as a free elective) offered by the Jindal School of Management. Students can also obtain a dual MS SCM and MBA degree by successfully completing at least 63 hours, considering all prerequisites and the requirements of both degree plans are met.
Waivers and Transfer of Credit
Waivers of program requirements may be granted in recognition of previous coursework completed with grade B or better within the past six years in a specific business program area. Waivers are approved by the appropriate program director through a process that allows a student to skip a core course and take the next higher level course in the same academic area with no reduction in the overall program hour requirements. Transfer of credits may be granted for equivalent graduate course work taken at other universities with a grade of B or better within the past six years. Up to 9 credit hours of course work from other universities may be waived from or transferred to the MS SCM program. Consult the UT Dallas Graduate Catalog for further details at www.utdallas.edu/student/catalog/.
Prerequisites Calculus is required as graduate program prerequisites. Students who have not already taken an equivalent course will need to complete the Quantitative Foundation of Business course with a grade B to meet the calculus requirement.
