After completing the MITx Micromasters® certificate online—the equivalent of five graduate-level MIT courses—you can then apply to the SCMb master’s program. If admitted, you’ll join the residential cohort on campus in January for the spring term and graduate with the group in late May. This blended option is ideal for seasoned supply chain professionals who want the flexibility and affordability of an online certificate, combined with a shorter time commitment on campus, while still reaping all the benefits and resources SCM and MIT offer.

Learning Outside of the Classroom

In our residential (MASc-SCMr) pathway, you’ll collaborate with a company or organization on a 10-month capstone project that starts on day one. You’ll take part in an international expo and conference and have the opportunity to meet executives at major corporations on a Study Trek to learn first-hand how they manage supply chain challenges. You’ll participate in the Supply Chain Challenge—a three-week, business case competition where you and your team will work together to solve a data-centric supply chain challenge submitted by a partner company.
