Master of Supply Chain Management Curriculum

Developing leadership skills is critical to success. MSCM students undertake seven interactive workshops rooted in practice-oriented research by Michigan Ross faculty and the Michigan Model of Leadership. These in-depth sessions guide students in developing their strengths, values, and goals in the personal, professional, and interpersonal arenas. Workshop topics include:

• How to optimize the four core leadership styles within individuals, teams, and organizations
• Empathetic and collaborative leadership for diverse, cross-cultural teams
• Results-oriented strategies for success
• How to craft a personal, purpose-aligned vision for the future based on your experiences and values

You will gain a deep understanding of end-to-end, global supply chain management.

You'll also get the big picture, learning how supply chain affects, and is affected by, other functions of global business.

MSCM students take courses alongside candidates in the Michigan Ross Full-Time MBA Program, which is a unique opportunity to examine issues across business disciplines. Electives are offered in areas such as negotiations, international trade, retail, distribution channels, international finance, law, technology and data analytics. Many electives are seven-week intensive courses geared to recent research, late-breaking business issues, or specialized faculty expertise.

MSCM Boot Camp is a rigorous introduction to all business disciplines—economics, finance, strategy, accounting, marketing, communications, organizational behavior, and statistics. Boot Camp covers 78 hours of class time across 26 modules and is taught by Michigan Ross' world-class faculty in an intimate setting. It takes place throughout the first term and provides MSCM students with a fundamental grounding in business.

You will graduate as a supply chain leader with hands-on experience thanks to the Michigan Ross action-based approach.

This perspective is woven throughout the MSCM Program, combining academic theory with real-world application.

During the Supply Chain Consulting Studio course, students work in groups to take on corporate projects at various companies. Each project reinforces an element of classroom instruction and is subject to classroom feedback, so students graduate from this program well-versed in both the theory and practice of comprehensive MSCM strategies.

Electives allow you to complement your MSCM studies with areas of interest such as negotiations, international trade, retail, marketing, accounting, strategy, international finance, law, and data analytics.

You will take both core and elective courses alongside students in the Full-Time MBA Program. This integration introduces you to a wider section of the school’s world-class faculty and allows you to examine issues across business disciplines from different points of view.
