Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management is the management of global activities to produce goods and services. As outsourcing of goods and services has increased over the years, the management of these goods and services is necessary to distribute these items in a timely and cost efficient way to satisfy the end user customer. It is also necessary to manage the quality, sustainability of these items and ensure that these goods and services are produced in a ethically responsible manner.

Economics Requirements 300 Level
• ECO 301 may be taken in lieu of ECO 310 for Supply Chain Management and Finance double majors.
• ECO 311 may be take in lieu of ECO 301 or Supply Chain Management and Economics double majors or for Supply Chain Management Major and Economic minor.
For students double majoring in two BSBA majors, a course that is eligible to count for two majors can only count towards one. For example, MKT 416 can count towards the MKT major and the IB major. If a student is double majoring in MKT and IB and takes MKT 416, this course can count toward the MKT or IB major, but not both. However, we do allow a student to double count a course in BSBA major and a minor. For example, a student majoring in MKT and minoring in ENT can have MKT 412 (p. ) count for both the major and the minor.
