<p>Hello everybody,</p>

<p>I am a business major; however, I am planning to switch to the Supply Chain track in the Industrial Engineering at Georgia Tech because I find Supply Chain very appealing. However, recently I find out that Georgia Tech also has the Operations & Supply Chain major in their business school. Could anyone explain the difference between two Supply Chain programs please?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>The ISyE major is more about crunching the numbers and modeling. ISyE has a lot of probability, statistics, and optimization. Supply chain engineers might be doing a lot of really serious analytical work to figure out how to make something .01% cheaper or faster, while the business majors will be learning more about the microeconomics and management aspects.</p>
