Hi. If I’m interested in going back to school for SCM, would getting a bachelors be helpful since my BS is in something completely different or go straight for the MS. I’m just worried about the knowledge gap? Thanks for your time.

My bachelors was in HR/technology. I was able to find an SCM MBA program that let you do "remedial" business classes simultaneously as the core curriculum to account for gaps in classes like Accounting for instance. Even though I didn't have a business degree in undergrad I was able to finish with a 3.85, was a bit challenging at times working full time and going to school, but it wasn't too bad, 2 years flew by.

I personally would do the masters since you already have a BS. The ASCM certified supply chain professional course / materials are really helpful in getting a good foundation on all areas of supply chain if you’re concerned about a gap.

Try the MSc Supply Chain Management (1yr) at RSM, we have a (also 1yr) pre-master program for nonbusiness background students to get prepared for their Master's courses.

Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
