<p>I’ve always had an interest in Supply Chain, especially since I’m hoping to be able to go into Logistics or something similar with FedEx or a similar company.</p>
<p>I know ASU has one of the best SCM programs out there, along with Michigan State; however, MSU doesn’t let business majors double-major, which is what I’m hoping to do, along with Accounting. Because of that, I had to cross it off the list, along with a myriad of other reasons.</p>
<p>Any info on the major would be awesome!</p>
<p>You are right that ASU has one the best SCM program in the nation. A lot of large corporations recruit there. The W. P. Carey School of Business is higly regarded. You might want to contact ASU directly to inquire about double major in business.</p>
<p>ASU is ranked #1 in the nation for this. can’t get any better, and you can double major</p>
<p>Laura, are you sure? ASU has one of the best Supply Chain Management program in the nation, but not ranked #1. It normally ranked between 3rd and 5th.</p>
<p>No, go on the ASU website, they have all the rankings</p>
<p>Laura, the following is a direct quote from ASU web site:
“The school of Supply Chain Management at the W. P. Carey School of Business is ranked fifth in the nation by the U.S. News and World Report’s 2009 annual rating of America’s Best Colleges. The SCM department prepares students to immediately take leadership roles as supply chain managers and consultants, and to assume increasingly important roles related to supply chain operations and executive leadership.” I have a son who is major in SCM at ASU and is doing very well both academically and in finding internships. But I just want to set the record straight that though highly ranked, SCM at ASU is not ranked number 1.</p>
<p>Christian2,

<p>ASU’s Supply Chain Management program is highly respected. Quite a few more companies that I know recruit at ASU but not on the above list.</p>
<p>Thanks Christian, so it’s pretty safe to say that other companies outside the Phoenix/Arizona area also recruit at ASU and that a SCM degree from there is also highly valued by employers?</p>
<p>Most of these companies are from outside of the Phoenix/Arizona area. A SCM degree from ASU is definitely highly valued by employers. I use to work for a major oil company and we recruit heavily at ASU for Supply Chain interns and new graduates. The key is to work hard, learn as much as possible and maintain a high GPA and the rest will take care of itself.</p>
<p>Correction: I go to Michigan State. Michigan State absolutely lets its business majors have double majors/dual degrees. I have many friends who are double-majoring in Supply Chain management and international relations. Others are double majoring in accounting and finance, finance and economics, etc. I repeat…business majors can double major. I’m 99% certain there are no restrictions on what you can double major in at Michigan State…it just depends on how long you are willing to be in school.</p>
<p>ASU has a fantastic Supply Chain program. I have been a Supply Chain major since freshman year, and am about to graduate this May. I can honestly tell you that you will have a greater amount of opportunities just by being a supply chain major, and the program is challenging and exciting. (All the other majors are jealous that we have our own career fair and generally more interest from recruiters). You can’t go wrong. My only advice: Get a LOT of internship experience. This will take you very far!</p>
