About the Program
Strategic design of agile operational systems and supply chains has become more important than ever with the rapid advancement of technology and the recent challenges faced by the public, private and nonprofit sectors. A successful future supply chain and operations leader needs a broad understanding of various business functions and a deep knowledge of the material flow, cash flow, and information flow that move around in and across business units, as well as the skills for efficient planning of human and non-human resources. The Supply Chain and Operations Management program at the Daniels School emphasizes the latest business concepts, models, and strategies for modern supply chains and operations. This is achieved through a comprehensive curriculum that builds a strong business foundation of operations, finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, and leadership, coupled with a strong analytics foundation of data analysis, simulation, and model development. Most importantly, our expert faculty offer a rich set of advanced knowledge in logistics, manufacturing, strategic sourcing and procurement, and project management through advanced courses. The Daniels School is ranked #9 for the best undergraduate production and operations management programs, #12 for best undergraduate supply chain management and logistics programs, and #9 for the best graduate supply chain management programs by U.S. News and World Report.

Critical Course
The ♦ course is considered critical.
In alignment with the Degree Map Guidance for Indiana’s Public Colleges and Universities, published by the Commission for Higher Education (pursuant to HEA 1348-2013), a Critical Course is identified as “one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Students who want to be nurses, for example, should know that they are expected to be proficient in courses like biology in order to be successful. These would be identified by the institutions for each degree program.”
Disclaimer
The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements. Consultation with an advisor may result in an altered plan customized for an individual student. The myPurduePlan powered by DegreeWorks is the knowledge source for specific requirements and completion.
Comparative information about Purdue University and other U.S. educational institutions is also available through the College Navigator tool, provided by the National Center for Education Statistics, and through the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard.
