MIT’s Supply Chain Management (SCM) program attracts business professionals from across the globe to experience its unique combination of master's level coursework, professional development, and industry interaction.

In just nine months, SCM students hone their supply chain expertise through an intensive program that includes:
(*) a challenging curriculum
(*) cutting-edge research, including a thesis project
(*) communication skill development
(*) leadership training
(*) extensive industry interaction

Started in 1998 by the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics, SCM provides its graduates with proficiency in both problem solving and change leadership. They are now practicing these skills in a wide variety of industries, including consulting, manufacturing, retail, logistics, distribution, and software.

Companies worldwide are turning to logistics and supply chain management to give them strategic advantage and they’re hiring SCM graduates to implement that change. Research is an integral part of the SCM program -- both for the students in the program and for the companies that sponsor the research projects.

The SCM program is built on a strong network of people dedicated to generating top logistics and supply chain professionals.

Our select group of students converges on MIT's campus from across the globe, creating a rich learning experience by sharing their diverse cultural and professional backgrounds.

The exceptional faculty and staff within SCM and the greater MIT community provide students with a dynamic and challenging learning environment, which is further enhanced by the program's partnership with industry leaders.

And the more than 300 professionals who make up the SCM alumni network provide students with the resources and support needed to pursue careers in the ever-expanding industry of logistics and supply chain management.
