      MA Programs in Supply Chain Management

      A Master of Arts, or MA, is a path of study open to college graduates looking to further their specialization in a given field of study. This degree can help prepare students for careers immediately upon graduation or can lead to yet higher education.

      What is an MA in Supply Chain Management? This program focuses on the production and distribution of goods or services and can be applied more locally or on a global scale. There are many steps between the manufacture of a good to its delivery to the consumer, and so this degree is fairly broad in terms of subject matter. The curriculum often involves courses that stress logistics strategy and research projects. With the advent of the internet and new ways of quickly communicating vast amounts of information, many of these programs also include a number of courses in e-logistics and e-supply chain management, having to do with virtual businesses and suppliers on the web.

      The main benefit to this degree is the fact that it offers an invaluable opportunity to specialize in supply chain management and gain much of the experience and most of the skills necessary to excel within this field. Upon graduation, many students of these programs are therefore well equipped to find work.

      The cost of an MA in Supply Chain Management is variable depending on the school's size and location. Tuition, enrollment fees and registration costs can depend on a range of factors. To determine the expense of a program, it is best to contact the school's admissions office directly with questions.

      An MA in Supply Chain Management is most directly applicable to careers in supply chain management and logistics, though graduates can choose to apply these skills to the private, public or voluntary sectors. Supply chain managers work to ensure the smooth transfer or transport of goods and services along every step of the production process. Some managers choose to focus their careers more specifically on production or trade, while others work more broadly or conduct field-related research.
