Operation and Supply Chain Management Bachelor's Degree Overview

Every family needs someone who manages the household and keep things running smoothly. Someone to buy food, budget, assign chores, put out fires and ensure everyone gets where they need to be.

In business, that person is called the operation and supply chain manager.

The University of Toledo has a top-ranked program in operation and supply chain management. It is one of the few U.S. universities to offer the major. Our College of Business and Innovation has also been ranked one of the best undergraduate business colleges by Bloomberg.

Operation managers oversee a business’ entire operation and help it run more smoothly. They manage people and resources. Here’s a sampling of what they do:

  • Coordinate the manufacturing and distribution of goods and services
  • Forecast demand and figure out how to meet it
  • Forecast manpower needs
  • Purchase and manage resources
  • Schedule production
  • Interact with suppliers, customers and retailers

Operation and Supply Chain Management Bachelor's Degree Highlights

  • A broad, versatile degree. UToledo OSCM students take a broad array of classes in our nationally ranked College of Business and Innovation: information systems, operations, marketing, sales and international business.
  • Leadership skills. Make yourself more marketable. Add our leadership minor and learn what it takes to be an effective leader.
  • State-of-the-art computer software and simulations. Information technology is becoming increasingly important in the field. UToledo undergrads learn how to use the latest enterprise resource planning software.
  • Internships. Work with accomplished professionals in the supply chain management field while earning college credit and a paycheck. Internships often lead to full-time positions.
  • Research-active faculty members who involve students in their work.
  • Free certification exam prep. Certification isn’t required to practice. But employers love job candidates who have passed at least one of the two CPIM (production and inventory management) exams. UToledo offers free test prep and pays your exam fee if you pass.
  • Network. Interact with area professionals by joining UToledo’s student chapter of APICS, an association for supply chain management. Members hone their skills by entering case competitions. Teams of students analyze business case studies to solve problems.
  • Online and evening classes. Keep your job and work on your degree at night or online, when it’s convenient for you.
  • Top 100 master’s program. UToledo’s MBA  program in operations management has been ranked one of the world’s 100 best.
  • Add a minor in World Cultures. This minor in the Department of World Languages and Cultures in the College of Arts and Letters can enhance any program of study. We live in an increasingly diverse country and can benefit personally and professionally from knowing more about other cultures. The program explores intercultural communication, traditions, how people conduct business and more.
