MSB Supply Chain Management
The KU School of Business, in conjunction with the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) at Fort Leavenworth, is pleased to offer Army officers the opportunity to expand their future potential with a new specialized degree in Supply Chain Management.
The Master of Science in Business with a Supply Chain Management and Logistics concentration is aimed specifically toward Army Majors and Major-eligible Captains. The degree will complement the quality military supply chain education officers enjoy while enabling a broader, civilian economy focus for those who plan to pursue logistics careers after military service. In addition, officers who continue careers in the Army are virtually required to have a Masters degree to advance beyond the rank of Major.
Logistics and Supply Chain Management are quickly becoming the business world’s most highly sought-after skill set. Whether a student plans to continue a career in the military or pursue a future civilian occupation, a Masters degree in this field remains highly desirable.
