• The Supply Chain Management Department offers students the opportunity to study the complete breadth and depth of logistics, operations, and sourcing within the context of overall supply chain management with two distinct doctoral programs. The logistics doctoral program (LDP) and operations and sourcing management doctoral program (OSMDP) are interdisciplinary and include faculty trained in logistics, marketing, operations, procurement, and management science.
  • This combination of skills offers students a broad range of scholarship and research opportunities. The LDP and OSMDP place primary emphasis on the development of scholars who intend to pursue academic careers at research universities. The LDP expects students to develop competence in logistics and in the general field of supply chain management. The OSMDP curriculum expects students to develop competence in operations and sourcing management. Overall, students should be capable of generating, applying and disseminating knowledge in their specific functional areas and the broad area of supply chain management.
