With the increased focus on the supply chain function in organizations, companies are seeking out supply chain professionals from various education institutions. To this end the recent release of Gartner’s Top 25 North American Supply Chain Undergraduate and Graduate Programs is especially useful.
Gartner surveyed fifty-two undergraduate and forty-seven graduate institutions.
“Looking at curriculum across undergraduate and graduate programs, we’ve seen growing interest in supply chain analytics, however, a decline in manufacturing focus,” said Dana Stiffler, vice president analyst with the Gartner Supply Chain practice, in a statement. “This is especially noticeable in supply chain M.B.A. degrees, with less than 50% of programs having significant manufacturing content, compared to 76% of programs two cycles ago in 2020.”
