  • Logistics Coordinator/Manager
    • Overseeing the movement of goods, managing transportation, and optimizing warehouse operations.

    • Providing advisory services to organizations seeking to enhance their supply chain strategies and operations.  

 


Focus of Study

The UCCS Supply Chain Management & Analytics curriculum offers students practical exercises, case studies, and projects to apply theoretical concepts to tangible business and societal challenges. Students will learn to leverage data to make informed decisions, streamline processes, reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and mitigate risks within supply chains. Additionally, they will gain proficiency in data analysis techniques, statistical modeling, optimization methods, and relevant software tools used in supply chain analytics. 


Program Requirements

Each candidate for the Bachelor of Science-Business degree in the Professional Program must complete the prescribed courses in an area of emphasis comprising a minimum of 18 - 24 semester hours taken at UCCS in addition to the required courses in the Business degree.

To earn a professional area of emphasis, a grade point average of 2.5 is required for the area of emphasis courses, with no grade below a C-; a 2.5 cumulative GPA is required for all business courses; and a 2.0 GPA is required overall. Students who graduate with an area of emphasis and/or business grade point averages from 2.0 to 2.49 will not earn an area of emphasis. All attempts of emphasis courses will be calculated into a student's GPA.

By completing extra courses, a student can earn a second area of emphasis. To earn a double area of emphasis, a student must fulfill all the requirements for both areas. If there are not at least 15 hours of unique courses in the areas, then the student cannot earn a double area of emphasis.
