The Master of Science degree program is for students who have completed a baccalaureate degree in business or a related degree as prescribed by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and want to do concentrated study in a specific business area. Deficiencies in a student’s undergraduate program result in additional hours being required for the degree. These are determined before or at the time of initial enrollment.
Supply chain management is only available to U.S. Army majors, or major-eligible captains stationed at Fort Leavenworth in Leavenworth, Kansas. The program is lock-step, 24 credit hours from KU and must be completed in 2 semesters. Six hours of credit are afforded students from concurrent course work at Command and General Staff College.
