Where I went to college there was no major for supply chain at the time. Does anyone know if that is a common thing at other universities?

If you have the chance to go study in France, you'll find there the worldwide references as supply chain, operations, quality and procurement diplomas.
Maybe with a school exchange?

If you have not this opportunity, you can check the french school's website, maybe you can follow the class with internet?

Other possibility, you have HEC Montréal which is delivering diplomas about supply chain and procurement.

Good luck!

Yea, but go get a masters now

Depending on how long ago it was, probably. At my university, the SCM major wasn’t a thing until some years ago, if I recall from my professors correctly.

Definitely true. It was like 8 years ago or so. It was not a thing yet.

Yeah my school didn’t have one either. However we had international business and trade. So instead of focusing on the governmental side of it, I focused on supply chain and logistics. And got internships in the industry.

My cousin got into the industry because of his internship. I think it really helped.

Yes supply chain management is a popular major, but it’s very school specific. Like PURDUE or RUTGERS, ect. Purdue now has an excellent online program for supply chain managemen.

Yes, I think so. During my time they don't have it in my school too. That was like 8 to 9 years ago. I don't know now.

I studied Operations Management in college and that helped get my footing into Supply Chain.

Hi, OP! I think so. But you can get a master's after your bachelor's degree.

When was it? Maybe other universities are now offering this. So yeah I guess it's a common thing before.

Where did you go to college? My school didn't have one either. You can get any related courses instead.

How hard it is to qualify for a school exchange? I've heard from a relative that it requires a lot of documents and money. I'm not really sure.

This is so true. I study operations management. That basically helped me break into this industry.
