Supply Chain Management Studies in the USA?

I've been reading a lot about supply chain issues lately, and I'm interested in studying supply chain management. What are some top programs or universities in the USA for this? Is it a difficult major to get into?

If you're focusing specifically on Supply Chain Management, here are a few universities known for strong programs in this field:

1. Michigan State University— Broad College of Business: Their undergraduate Supply Chain Management program is often ranked No.1 nationally.

2. Arizona State University (ASU)— W.P. Carey School of Business: They have a top-rated Supply Chain Management program as well.

3. Pennsylvania State University— Smeal College of Business: Their Supply Chain program is also ranked in the top five, according to U.S. News & World Report.

4. Rutgers University— The Rutgers Business School offers a reputable program in Supply Chain Management, as well.

5. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)— Sloan School of Management: This school's graduate program in supply chain management is often very highly ranked (might be of interest if you're thinking about future grad school plans).

As for the admissions difficulty, it would depend on the university. For example, getting into MIT's undergraduate program is quite competitive overall, so indirectly, getting into their supply chain program might be challenging. However, once in the college, declaring a particular major often isn't as competitive.

However, it's vital to remember that each university might have a distinct approach to admitting students into specific majors, and you should look into the precise admission requirements of the respective programs at each university. Strong performance in math, economics, and potentially even information science classes in high school can be useful preparation for a supply chain management major.

As always, make sure to consider other factors such as university size, location, cost, culture, and so on when you're deciding what programs fit you the best. Good luck with your college search!
