Supply Chain & Operations Management

Texas Full-Time MBA Concentrations

MBA graduates with a concentration in Supply Chain and Operations Management have several career
opportunities available to them. They are well prepared to work as supply chain analysts, project
managers, logistics managers, operations consultants or as managers of manufacturing or service
operations. Consulting firms value the analytical skills that are developed in supply chain management.
This concentration can be particularly valuable when combined with skills in marketing or finance.

The Supply Chain and Operations Management concentration takes a strategic and application-oriented
view of a firm’s operations and resources. In addition to the core course in operations, electives are
offered in areas such as supply chain management, project management, supply chain analytics, and
service operations management. A practicum course is also offered that affords students an
opportunity to interact with the industrial partners of the University of Texas Supply Chain Consortium
to solve real business problems.
