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.

Study Abroad Requirements
Study abroad students may transfer one supply chain management elective to the major provided they have taken the necessary prerequisites and have prior approval by the department chair. A substitution for BUS 3260 is not eligible.
Economics Requirements 3000 Level
• ECO 3500 may be taken in lieu of ECO 3100 for Supply Chain Management and Finance double majors.
• ECO 3200 may be taken in lieu of ECO 3500 or Supply Chain Management and Economics double majors or for Supply Chain Management Major and Economics 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 4160 can count towards the MKT major and the IB major. If a student is double majoring in MKT and IB and takes MKT 4160, 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 4120 (p. ) count for both the major and the minor.
