The Martin J. Whitman School of Management was named by Gartner Inc. as one of the top 25 in the country for its supply chain management (SCM) program, earning a No. 22 ranking in graduate programs.
Gartner sent out individualized request for information links to supply chain program contacts at universities in the U.S. and Canada. The ranking of university programs in Gartner’s relative comparison is based on a composite score of three categories: program scope, industry value and program size.
The report is intended to support chief supply chain officers, heads of supply chain strategy and supply chain HR partners to identify the programs best equipped to support their growing talent needs.
“We are proud of the educational excellence in our program, which offers plenty of experiential learning opportunities. Students engage with companies through internships, corporate partnerships, seminars and networking events,” says Burak Kazaz, Steven R. Becker Professor of Supply Chain Management and Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence at the Whitman School. “Our program is known to be a leading institution in supply chain risk management, a skill set that became influential during disruptions that are caused by global health issues and during economic downturns. We are also the first program to institute supply chain finance as a required course and is one of the leading programs when it comes to the integration of financial and operational planning. Our students are trained rigorously in their analytical capabilities, which helps place our students.”
The Whitman School of Management is home to the nation’s first SCM program. A specialization in traffic and transportation was first offered in 1919 when the School of Management was founded. Currently, the SCM program offers rigorous Ph.D., full-time MBA, full-time M.S., online M.S. and B.S. degrees, as well as executive education. Whitman’s award-winning SCM faculty is renowned for teaching, research and outreach partnerships.
Whitman’s SCM program hosts two outstanding centers: The Brethen Operations Management Institute and the Franklin Center for Supply Chain Management. The Harry E. Salzberg Memorial Lecture Program brings accomplished executives and scholars to campus in order to share their insights and expertise.
“Major corporations, such as Amazon, BAE, BASF, IBM and Pratt & Whitney, look to Whitman for their companies’ future supply chain leaders,” says Kazaz, who is also director of the Robert H. Brethen Operations Management Institute.
