More about this program
Both an in-person and a fully online path lead to this school's master's in supply chain management, taught by the same W. P. Carey faculty either way. The 30-credit-hour curriculum opens with supply management and negotiation, then covers decision models, cost and design issues, and logistics, closing with a capstone in operations planning and execution. Full-time students on the West Valley campus can finish in 9 to 16 months, with an optional third-semester track in business intelligence. Online applicants first complete a prerequisite certificate or an MITx MicroMasters, and those 9 to 12 credits transfer into the degree, leaving an estimated $26,000 for the remaining 18 credits or $30,000 for 21 credits, the same for residents, nonresidents and international students, plus a $500 enrollment deposit. GMAT and GRE scores are optional. STEM-OPT eligible graduates can extend work authorization by 24 months.
