Program Overview

Weatherhead School of Management offers a dual-degree program that is ideal for students interested in gaining management skills to create sustainable value for business and society. This program combines the broad-based skills garnered in the MBA program with the specific technical and functional skills needed to lead today's increasingly complex supply chains. This pairing is designed to provide students with a competitive advantage to accelerate their careers upon graduation along with specialized skills that prepare them to make immediate contributions to careers in supply chain management

A student can submit one application to be admitted into the dual-degree program but will be considered for each program separately. A student currently in the first year of the full-time MBA program can also apply to be admitted into the dual-degree program. A motivated student may be able to complete both degrees in just five semesters. 

  • Gain proficiency with a wide range of key management skills
  • Combined with deep-dives into core analytic and functional supply chain competencies
  • Learn how to connect theory with practice through hands-on action learning projects, working directly with real companies
  • Receive direct exposure to top employers to learn about career opportunities

Program Requirements

Students may complete the dual degree program of Master of Supply Chain Management (MSCM) and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program in as quickly as five semesters by completing 81 credits hours of coursework in 2.5 academic years. Independently the MSCM degree is 30 credit hours and the MBA Program is 60 credit hours. 

9 credit hours are double-counted for both degrees. This reduces the total number of hours required for the two degrees.

MSCM/MBA students may enroll only on a full-time basis, except during summer sessions. Dual degree students must receive both the Master of Supply Chain Management and the MBA degrees simultaneously upon completion of degree requirements. After completion of both degree programs, two separate degrees are awarded. Coursework for both programs must be completed within six years of the date of initial enrollment in either program.
