UMPI Bachelors of Business Administration - Supply Chain Management - My Story

[joshua27]

Congratulations! What did you think of the supply chain management courses? I don't think we've had someone complete this program yet. It is one of the newer programs. It was released with the marketing one a couple of years ago.

Overall I though the SCM courses were excellent. I particularly enjoyed Professor Michaud and Professor Good’s classes.  Most of the courses I took at UMPI were for my concentration as there are really no alternative courses available.  I would say that this could be quite challenging for someone without experience but luckily enough for me I work in procurement so the degree is in exactly my line of work.

It’s very “doable” as a major and prepares you for an assortment of positions. SCM is in demand and one of the better paying business admin degrees. In hindsight I do sort of wish I had done accounting or something I’m less familiar with for the learning experience but I can always go back and get another bachelors lol.

I made a spreadsheet for all the courses I needed. I should modify it for someone without any prior credits to show how to ‘start from scratch’ on a SCM degree.
