“The best part of the supply chain management curriculum at Clarkson is its systems approach to integrating business functions. It not only concentrates on single disciplines such as logistics, inventory management, information systems, or negotiations and partnership management, but also focuses on ‘the big picture’ and systems optimization.” -

Supply Chain Management

Global Supply Chain Management

Clarkson recognizes that you will work in an e-world. Our Global Supply Chain Management program will help you work in a virtual marketplace and maintain global business organizations. Globalization and rapid changes in technology are rewriting the rules of competition. Advances in information technology are speeding up productivity. Clarkson's program provides you with fundamental knowledge of e-business and information systems, partnership management, and supply chain channels. You focus on one of two tracks:

  • e-Commerce — Covers digital business topics including data communications, product and price management, and Internet marketing.
  • Supply Chain Management — Focuses on improving efficiency and effectiveness through the application of information technology, engineering design methodology, quality management, logistics and distribution, international issues, and strategic partnerships.

At Clarkson, we get you in the game early. Many schools accept students into business degree study only in their junior year. Here, you start your academic career with a two-semester entrepreneurial sequence designed to show you all of the facets of the business enterprise. Development of a start-up sets the context for the next three years of academics. We call it "learning business by doing business."

In addition to this undergraduate program, Clarkson also offers graduate degrees in business.
