Earn your Master of Supply Chain Management online

Supply chains require professionals who possess the technical expertise and cross-functional business skills to understand every link in the chain — from inception to the consumer. The Master of Supply Chain Management program at The Ohio State University Max M. Fisher College of Business is meeting this need head-on. This program prepares a new generation of supply chain professionals through a combination of online coursework and hands-on learning experience.

The 33-credit hour MSCM program can be taken full-time (12 months) or part-time (24 months) depending on the pace a which you wish to go. The MSCM builds and refines valuable supply chain skills through a flexible curriculum that combines online coursework with hands-on learning experiences. The result is a new generation of supply chain professionals equipped to put the latest theory into practice immediately.

100% of classes are online: Core classes are split evenly between synchronous (live) and asynchronous (self-paced) instruction and taught by premier faculty utilizing the latest technology and online teaching spaces on campus. You’ll interact live for ~1-2 hours each week per class, with class and small group discussions, case studies and guest lectures. Outside of live instruction, you’ll learn through rich, self-paced asynchronous content, including short video lectures, podcasts, interviews and carefully selected public content.

MSCM students spend time on Ohio State’s Columbus campus on two occasions throughout the program (Friday and a Saturday – twice). These intimate and personalized learning experiences include workshops, on-site industry tours in Columbus, Ohio, executive speakers and in-person networking. MSCM students are expected to attend the in-person sessions, with rare exceptions. These in-person sessions utilize weekends so that they require students to be on campus no more than five weekdays during the entirety of the program.

The MSCM curriculum includes a signature capstone project in which students address a real challenge and deliver tangible results to their current employer or assigned organization. The Capstone Project is an opportunity to apply learnings, think analytically, drive decision-making, build skills and work with partners to co-create value.
