About the Supply Chain Management Degree Program

On Campus

The Supply Chain Management degree program prepares students to be involved in all stages of the SCM process, doing the critical work of getting the right product and quantity to the right consumer at the right time. Professionals in the field engage in planning, forecasting, purchasing, transportation, storage, distribution, sales and customer service—from the raw materials to the finished product.

According to U.S. News and World Report, supply chain management is one of 20 hot job tracks for the 21st century, and is listed in the top 10 industries in Nebraska. One out of 11 jobs in Nebraska are in SCM.

UNK's supply chain management graduates are highly sought-after, with the 2025-2026 class achieving a 100% placement rate.*
