Continuing education in supply chain abounds
June 18, 2007
Are you thinking about an MS or MBA?
I have never really understood the difference in an MS Degree and an MBA degree.
The Master of Science degree is a professional degree designed to prepare a student for teaching, for further graduate studies, or for more advanced work in industry.
The Master of Business Administration is a postgraduate degree that is awarded to students who have mastered the study of business. The program overviews across all business and management principles, with an emphasis on how the theory behind these principles has been and can be applied in real world business situations.
The Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan will offer a Master of Supply Chain Management degree program starting next January. MSCM applicants must have earned the equivalent of a four-year U.S. bachelor’s degree and taken the Graduate Management Admission Test. For more info, go to
I picked up another brochure at the ISM conference about The University of San Diego.
They offer a Master of Science in Supply Chain Management. One of the features is a cohort-based curriculum. The program is offered online in a lock-step, cohort-based format and requires 26 months for completion. Each phase consists of a 12-month curriculum with a two-month break between Phases. This break allows students time for reflection and rejuvenation.
The program’s delivery format employs a blended approach to learning, whereby students spend 11 days on campus per phase and complete the remainder of instruction via online learning. Regular online interaction makes it possible for students to network with their instructors and fellow students in a user-friendly manner. For info:
Now you do not even have to come to Texas to get an MBA. The University of North Texas in Denton, TX offers 100% online MBA degrees and online courses.
In spring 2007, The College of Business Administration formally rolled out two 100% online MBA programs. One is an MBA with a concentration in Strategic Management and the other is an MBA with a concentration in Marketing.
What’s new is that students who are enrolled in one of the two 100% online programs would not be required to come to campus to attend face-to-face sessions/classes. All course activities will be conducted exclusively through distance learning (web) technology. For more info: www.coba.unt.edu/programs/masters/onlinecourses.php
Now what is your excuse. You can go to classes on campus, you can do a cohort-based study, or best yet, study at work or at home on your computer. Things are changing in the educational arena. Colleges and Universities are catering to students that can not afford to be full time students. MBA programs are being lined up for people already out in the business world. They are encouraging people to continue their education by offering options to fit individuals needs. Sometimes an MBA can help you get the job you want. Look at the job section, many companies are asking for top management to have an MBA. Think about it. How does CPO, Corporate Purchasing Officer, sound.
