Logistics and Supply Chain Management refers to the movement of raw materials and component parts into and within a business, the storage of those products, and the distribution of the finished products to customers. Supply chain management issues are permeating every business in the modern world, and strategic management thinking is needed now more than ever as it applies to the logistics functions of firms with global operations. Within this broad framework, students will develop a capacity for analyzing operations and logistics problems on a functional, firm, and enterprise basis.
In this program, students will be given the knowledge and technical skills for analyzing the behavior of large and complex supply chain networks. Examples of issues to be addressed include:
Typically, a career in logistics and supply chain management begins in customer service, inventory management, transportation, or front-line supervision, and can ultimately lead to positions in supply-chain management and other related areas. As Dallas grows to become one of the leading “inland ports” of the U.S. transportation industry, the UNT Dallas program in Logistics and Supply Chain Management will qualify and position graduates in the new market.
Job search and career planning information is available to students enrolled at UNT Dallas. You can learn about resume and letter writing, job search strategies and interview preparation, and you can obtain information about jobs and employers.
All upper-division (junior- and senior-level) courses needed to complete this degree program are offered at the UNT Dallas Campus.
