Read why the MS SCM Online degree worked for Conal Chan:

“The MS SCM online program has been a truly transformative journey, surpassing my initial expectations and significantly broadening my skill set in unforeseen ways. I deeply appreciate the program’s comprehensive offering of courses, delving into essential methods of efficiency and providing in-depth technical expertise, all while offering the flexibility to attend remotely. The program not only enhanced my ability to manage operations for my accounting teams but also equipped me with a mindset to adeptly navigate the ever-evolving landscape of challenges and opportunities in our workload. As someone committed to streamlining processes and embracing innovative solutions, I found the evolution of teaching methods in each course to be particularly intuitive and tailored to the subject matter. Operations courses benefited from collaborative group projects, technical skill-based courses presented real-time diagrams for better comprehension, an ERP course included detailed instruction manuals for practical application that complemented the theory taught in lecture videos and the list goes on. The interactive nature of the courses, the hands-on projects, and the real-world case studies not only enhanced my understanding but also instilled in me a mindset deeply rooted in continuous improvement. I now also find joy in learning about processes in other industries in my spare time. I extend my sincere appreciation to UTD for delivering a program that not only met the demands of remote study but actively fostered a culture of adaptability, efficiency and innovation. While my initial intention in attending this program was to enhance my technical skills, I ended up graduating with aspirations to reach even greater heights in my career.”

How the Master’s in Supply Chain Management Online Works

What is the MS in Supply Chain Management Online?

The MS in Supply Chain Management Online (MS SCM Online) is a minimum 36 semester-credit-hour STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) degree program that explores the design, management and key issues of industrial supply chains, including methods for improving supply chain operations by lowering costs and improving quality.

What courses and specialty offerings are available?

With 6 core courses (including accounting and finance), multiple online electives offered from the Operations Management area, and many online electives offered through other areas of the Jindal School of Management, students may customize the degree to their needs through all-online coursework.

What kind of availability do courses have?

Core courses are available each fall and spring semester. You can find the listing of courses available each semester via the UT Dallas Coursebook. However, elective courses are subject to instructor availability during each semester. In situations where an elective course instructor is unavailable, you will have the option that semester to select a substitute elective that fits your professional and program goals. Your graduate advisor and program director will work with you to find the best course option.

Are there prerecorded sessions?

Online courses may have prerecorded sessions that you can access from anywhere, anytime — including internationally. Some online sections of some courses may be offered in an online synchronous format, which requires students to log in at a set day and time to do a live online class session with the instructor each week.

What are exams like for online courses?

Every course is different, but most courses require that all exams be taken at a proctored exam center. If an online student is not in the Dallas area and cannot take their exams at the UT Dallas testing center, then the proctored exam center selected by the student must be approved by the UT Dallas testing center; there are numerous national and international testing locations. For more information on the availability of proctored exams, please visit the Testing Center website or email tcdl@utdallas.edu for assistance.
