Two Degree Options:
Students choose between two degree options. All incoming students (both SCMr and SCMb) are initially enrolled for the MASc-SCM degree. Upon arrival, students interested in the MEng-SCM degree may submit a research proposal and apply to pursue that degree option.
(MASc-SCM) is designed for students who want to take a job in industry or consulting upon graduation.
(MEng-SCM) is more research-focused and is designed for students who wish to continue on in research or pursue a PhD.
Two Program Formats:
Ten-month on-campus master’s program designed for early-career supply chain professionals who want to receive advanced, specialized training in supply chain management to pivot their career path into a new function or industry.
Program Timeline
The SCMr program begins in early August and concludes with commencement at the end of May. Residential program students are admitted for August entry only.
