Student Testimonials
Madhu Megalatti Francis, Class of 2023
While I was pursuing my MS SCM degree in 2022, I was hired by Tesla in the supply chain domain. As an intern, I contributed to a couple of projects, one of which was to help create logic for a supplier confirmation matrix. This reduced a lot of offline communication and enabled systematic processes with decreased error.
The curriculum of the MS SCM program at UTD is equipped to help students gain a robust understanding of supply chain principles, strategic procurement, logistics, and sustainable operations, all of which have proven invaluable in the ever-evolving landscape of supply chain management. This helped me receive a full time offer at Tesla.

Saad Hasan, Class of 2024
From Neuroscience to Supply Chain
The transition from my undergraduate degree in Neuroscience at UTD to the MS Supply Chain Management program required creativity. Neuroscience is an examination of interconnected systems that use feedback loops and signaling mechanisms to effect change. Neuroscience requires us to examine the most basic building blocks of all systems, appreciate them for the way they independently create life, but go one step further and explore the way those systems rely on and communicate with each other to create unity. When I was introduced to Supply Chain, I saw various independently operated and complex systems that relied on strong, two-way communication to ensure seamless flow. Functions such as Accounting, Procurement, Manufacturing, Warehouse Management, IT, and Logistics all create value themselves, but in a firm, they rely on each other and must work in harmony to provide customer value. Navigating the transition between Neuroscience to Supply Chain was a matter of looking at businesses like beautifully constructed, living systems.
Lea Petri , Class of 2025
The student organizations are the best part. Students come to study at UTD from all around the world. I have the opportunity to meet them and hear about their stories and careers. JSOM students are supportive, open-minded, and lots of fun to be around! In my first semester, I was given the opportunity to take a leadership position in the Supply Chain Leadership Council (SCLC) UT Dallas. We explored supply chain robotics through a visit to Anantak Robotics Inc., which manufactures autonomous transport carts and pallets. I also attended an INFORMS at UT Dallas presentation by Deloitte where I learned about cutting edge innovation at the Smart Factory in Wichita, KS.
Harshith Yeruva, Class of 2023
The UTD MS Supply Chain Management program’s flexible curriculum empowered me to think innovatively and prepared me for real-world challenges. This adaptability proved invaluable in securing my summer internship at LinkedIn, where the program’s coursework seamlessly translated into practical skills. Leveraging these insights during my internship not only heightened my performance but also played a pivotal role in securing a full-time Technology Sourcing Manager position at LinkedIn upon graduation. The UTD MS Supply Chain Management program has truly had a profound impact on my professional journey.
