Institute for Supply Management (ISM), in collaboration with the University of San Diego School of Business Administration, is pleased to announce it has approved one of the private institution’s specialized master’s degree programs.
The ISM Approved Master of Science in Supply Chain Management (MS-SCM) is available to supply chain management professionals currently working in the field. USD’s MS-SCM is the first program to receive ISM’s approval.
According to ISM CEO Paul Novak, C.P.M., A.P.P., shared educational and professional values held by both institutions led to the alliance. “ISM’s mission to lead supply management and extend the global impact of supply management aligns with the format and blended learning approach of this specialized graduate degree,” Novak says.
“ISM offers supply professionals educational opportunities, knowledge, resources and certifications that span a broad spectrum of components and functional areas. The interdisciplinary nature of the MS-SCM at USD is a valuable opportunity for professionals who seek career success and advancement in those same functional areas.”
Simon R. Croom, Ph.D., executive director, USD Supply Chain Management Institute (SCMI), and USD faculty member, asserts that both organizations are passionate about developing and providing skills needed by supply chain management professionals.
“USD’s Supply Chain Management Institute has established a global reputation for its expertise in the field and so we are naturally delighted that the Institute for Supply Management has chosen our master’s degree in supply chain management as their only approved specialized program."
