Virginia Commonwealth University will begin offering a Bachelor of Science degree in supply chain management this fall, making it the first public university in Virginia to offer this program to undergraduate students.
The new degree program addresses a talent crisis, marked by a shortage of qualified supply chain professionals, that adversely impacts state and national economies.
“The need for a B.S. in supply chain management degree program is evident in the evolving landscape of global commerce and logistics,” said Fotis Sotiropoulos, Ph.D., provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at VCU. “As businesses increasingly rely on efficient supply chain operations, there is a growing demand for skilled professionals with specialized knowledge in supply chain management.”
