Internships/Jobs in Supply Chain Management



The master of supply chain management program maintains many corporate relationships to support the recruitment of our supply chain graduates. The Dallas Metroplex is home to leading supply chain companies that are all run complex supply chains and constantly looking for well-qualified professionals to manage them.

The industry advisory board and supply chain companies have acknowledged that our students are in high demand because our program enables them to gain the required skill sets such as analytical thinking, state-of-the-art technology developments and decision making capabilities in order to be successful in the workplace.

In 2011, Texas ranked second in America’s Top States for Business ranking by CNBC. Dallas was ranked the fastest growing city in the United States in 2010 (CNN Money), providing our students with significant opportunities for internship and job placement.
