Undergraduate Majors and Interests
If you're thorough, organized and meticulous and enjoy decision-making and long-term planning, a bachelor's degree in operations and supply chain management from the University of North Texas will prepare you for a successful career in a growing field.
This exciting industry has greatly increased in popularity during the past decade and is expected to continue to expand because of technological innovation, global competition, and the ongoing need for organizations to increase productivity and reduce costs.
Professionals in operations and supply chain management focus on the activities directly related to the creation of goods and services — the output of an organization. Operations and supply chain management is required in manufacturing and service industries, in government and in nonprofit organizations to plan and schedule the effective use of organizational resources.
Because operations and supply chain professionals possess a variety of aptitudes and skills, you will have a wide variety of career options with this major, including:
UNT's Career Center can help you prepare to pursue your career. The center has information about jobs and employers, and the staff can help you with resume and letter writing, job search strategies and interview preparation.
The operations and supply chain management discipline consists of various areas dealing with the design, operation and control of production systems and subsystems.
As an operations and supply chain management major, you may study:
In addition, you may study international business operations and management of working capital for the manufacture and distribution of a product.
Faculty members in the Department of Management have a strong commitment to high-quality teaching. Two faculty members have been named Regents Professors for outstanding teaching and research. Regents Professors, which is the university's highest distinction for faculty members, devote at least half of their teaching load to introductory-level classes. Two faculty members received the President's Council University Teaching Award, and another was awarded the Shelton Excellence in Teaching Award.
Our new Business Leadership Building will heighten your learning experience. Scheduled for completion in 2011, the 180,000 square-foot facility will contain 24 classrooms, team study rooms, and a state-of-the-art general access computer lab. This building will help distinguish UNT as a leader in business education for students and executives.
Upon completion of 12 semester hours at UNT with at least a 2.5 GPA, you may work in a job related to your area of study through UNT's Cooperative Education and Internships office. You may earn academic credit and money and gain valuable work experience.
Co-op employers pay extremely well, and the jobs usually last several semesters, often until graduation. More than 1,800 employers work with the office to provide excellent learning opportunities, many of which become permanent full-time positions upon graduation. The office also assists with placing students in internships, which last for one full semester or summer.
If you are a high school student, we suggest you prepare for college by becoming computer proficient and taking:
You will need to take courses in most of these subjects under the university core curriculum required of all undergraduates, in addition to courses for your major. Talk with your high school counselor about preparing for college, including the entrance exams (SAT or ACT) that you should take during your junior year.
To prepare for study in operations and supply chain management, we suggest that you take as many accounting and statistics courses as you can in high school.
As a benefit for transfer students, UNT participates in the Texas Common Course Numbering System. This system makes it easier to transfer credits for general academic courses from one Texas institution to another.
If you're attending a Texas community college, you should consult the UNT Transfer Guide, the UNT Undergraduate Catalog and an academic counselor/ advisor to discuss your degree plan. Proper planning will help you receive the maximum amount of transfer credits.
UNT's Transfer Center will help you make a successful transition to college life at UNT by connecting you to a peer mentor and other valuable campus resources. Each year, we welcome more transfer students than any institution in the state. The center is in the University Union, Room 320. More information is at www.unt.edu/transferprograms.
Once you declare operations and supply chain management as your field of study, you will receive one-on-one academic counseling and advising from the professional field director in the Department of Management. This will allow you to stay on track for graduation and to know how to structure your curriculum to achieve your career goals. The department office is in the Business Building, Room 315. The program director is Richard E. White. Contact him at 940-565-3036 or by e-mail at white@unt.edu.
