Overview

The Master of Professional Studies in Applied Logistics provides a foundational framework that draws upon multidisciplinary areas and exploration and understanding of advanced technologies. It is built on the pillars of technical proficiency, systems thinking, and strategic leadership. The program integrates core domain knowledge with a review of technologies driving the field forward as well as training in leadership and agile project management.

Students learn how to handle challenges quickly, develop skills to avoid reactionary responses, work collaboratively to find innovative solutions, and effectively communicate across the supply chain to stakeholders. Using project-based learning, students will gain experience training for how to plan for the worst without becoming overwhelmed.

  • Job ready from day one after graduation. Program was created alongside employers to ensure the curriculum is aligned with their wants and needs for graduate students entering the workforce.
