Hear from former program director, Dr. Roby Thomas, about what makes Elmhurst’s Supply Chain Management program unique.

In a global economy where supply chains are the business, understanding how organizations operate end-to-end makes you indispensable, especially in one of the world’s premier transportation and logistics hubs.

Elmhurst University’s AI-enabled, STEM-designated Master of Science in Supply Chain Management prepares you to design, analyze, and lead modern supply chains with confidence. You’ll integrate strategy, operations, analytics, and technology, using contemporary optimization tools and applied generative AI, to solve the kinds of problems organizations face right now.

Learning goes beyond theory. Through a cohort-based, real-world project, you’ll partner on a live supply chain challenge and deliver outcomes that are resume- and LinkedIn-ready, demonstrating your ability to turn data into decisions and insight into impact.

By graduation, you won’t just understand how supply chains work—you’ll have the analytical depth, collaborative leadership skills, and practical experience to lead what’s next.
