Creating a major in Supply Chain Managment/Logisitcs

<p>My school does not offer a program in Supply Chain Managment (SCM) or Logisitics. I would like to get into this field; at this time I would prefer not to transfer. I have the option of creating my own specialization by taking courses such as Global SCM, Productions and Operations Managment and Import-Export. </p>

<p>My question is: would I be competative in the job market for an entry-level SCM/logisitics related position, without a degree in SCM? I plan on getting an internship or two in SCM or logisitcs;however, with the growing rise in SCM programs, I am afraid that I won't be very competative. I plan on studying abroad at a school which has a reputable SCM program so I am exposed to more courses. Will employers care about the courses I took, or simply just see that I acquired a generic buisiness administration degree? Someone with exposure to the job market told me that what I am doing is actually a plus because creating my own speciality shows that I am entrepreneurial and resourceful, do you think this is an accurate statement? Lastly, how is the current job market for people interested in SCM and Logisitcs related jobs? Thanks.</p>
