About the major
This year U.S. News recognized Marquette’s program in Operations & Supply Chain Management as #16 among the nation’s top business specialty programs.
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A HOT CAREER. USNews & World Report says, "Managing the flow of product and information is in great demand as a business discipline" (demand for OSCM professionals far outstrips the supply), and counts operations and supply chain management among its "20 Hot Job Tracks," with an entry-level salary of $45,000.
INTERNSHIPS. You can work as an undergraduate for some of the nation's leading firms right here in Milwaukee. It's easy to do, because it's built right into your curriculum.
OPENING DOORS. Through working in the college's Center for Supply Chain Management or getting involved in the OSCM student organization, you will develop a critical professional network before you graduate.
IT'S WHAT YOU KNOW AND HOW YOU NETWORK. Marquette's College of Business Administration is home to the Center for Supply Chain Management, a university-industry venture for education, research and advancement of knowledge in supply chain management. It's a great forum for networking with OSCM professionals.
