Which Program Is Right For You?
The On-Campus program is designed for individuals
with a flexible schedule who would rather engage
with faculty and peers in a traditional classroom
setting. Classes are taught Monday-Friday and
attendance is mandatory. The Online program is
part-time and is designed for working individuals
unable to commit to attending courses on campus
at a scheduled time. For more information on
which program is right for you, please e-mail us at:
ms.gscm@marshall.usc.edu.
Experiential Trips
The program includes a one-week experiential trip to
an international supply chain hub such as Singapore
at the end of the first semester. A one-week
experiential module in Los Angeles at the end of
your final semester is also included. These modules
provide an environment for practical application of
concepts learned in the classroom. The modules
consist of on-site visits to supply chain facilities and
networking events with industry professionals.
