Introduction to the Supply Chain Management Concentration

The Supply Chain Management concentration at Colorado State University's College of Business connects students directly with the resources that keep businesses moving. This concentration focuses on developing systems and strategies for connecting people with goods, services, and other resources quickly and efficiently.

Careers in Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management accounts for the big-picture ideas behind tactical decisions and keeps the full product cycle front and center, from transforming raw materials into finished products and then getting them into people's hands. There is always a need for supply chain managers, especially with the continued growth of e-commerce.
