MSB Supply Chain Management & Logistics

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 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.

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 is highly desirable.
