The Supply Chain Management program is designed to provide graduates with a comprehensive skill set in Supply Chain Management while leaving ample room for foundational courses imperative for their long-term success.
Field of Study: Supply Chain Management
Division: Traditional Undergraduate
Locations: Fully Online
Options: Skilled Pathway

Students will acquire a well-rounded knowledge base of business and business concepts to equip them with the skills necessary to work in Supply Chain Management (SCM) roles in today’s economy. The goal of this program is to help students learn the skills necessary to secure an entry-level position in SCM, while also providing them with the educational background necessary for them to grow in their careers for years to come.
As economic networks have continued to expand, Supply Chain Management has become one of the most critical areas for companies needing to move products around the globe. A total of 1.4 million new jobs in Supply Chain and Logistics were created from 2014-2018, and this growth is likely to continue as more and more companies recognize the importance of optimizing their supply chain.
Because the importance of this role has grown so rapidly in recent years, the labor market is currently experiencing a dearth of Supply Chain professionals, and most of the people working in this area do not have a formal education in SCM. Furthermore, graduates who secure jobs in this field will be able to have a real impact, as global supply chains continue to proliferate and impact economies and environments throughout the world.
By completing the Supply Chain Management skilled pathway, graduates will:
No, but you may need one to get hired, and having educational training in Supply Chain Management provides a massive advantage in earning potential and salary. Across all fields, people with a bachelor’s degree also have a 50% lower rate of unemployment, and on average they make an additional $630,000 to $900,000 over their lifetime, even more in high-growth fields like this one.
In their first year of employment, people working in Supply Chain Management earn an average of $10,000 more with a college degree. That grows to $30,000 more per year by your 6th year of employment.
Supply Chain is huge, so you’ll have tons of options, but most students discover which piece of the supply chain puzzle they have a passion for by their 2nd or 3rd year. If you enjoy problem-solving, it may be logistics. If you like working with people, you may point towards sourcing or operations. You may also work in analysis, inventory, distribution, transportation or production.
A flipped classroom is one where the focus is not on lectures but on discussion, projects, and problem-solving. Students in flipped classrooms get the chance for more instructor feedback and, as a result, have been found to learn much, much faster.
The courses in this program are part of an exclusive partnership between ENC and Rize Education, which means you’ll be learning with students from your campus, as well as students from a selective consortium of schools across the country. That means you get to enjoy the small Christian college environment while also building a national network of people in your industry before you’ve even graduated.
If you like working through problems or solving puzzles, if you like interacting with people, if you are curious about how things work, and if you’re looking for a way to take part in the global economy, you should consider this field.
Flexibility. Optional Synchronous means our Supply Chain courses can be attended together at one time with other students or on your own schedule. Many students prefer the learning that comes with live interactions, while other students love the flexibility of doing their courses whenever it fits into their schedule.
Yes! The only way to make sure our program gives you the skills you need to get hired and teaches you to work through real-world problems is to partner with the people out there who are actually doing it. Our collaboration with Ryder means that their multi-billion-dollar expertise is reflected in everything you’ll study here.
We are offering these high demand, skills-focused programs through an innovative nationwide consortium of over 75 colleges and universities much like ENC. As a student in these programs, you enjoy the opportunity to attend a small Christian college while developing specialized skills that will prepare you for careers in some of today’s fastest-growing fields. In your major and your general education coursework, you will have the opportunity to develop a strong Christian worldview while the courses in the RIZE partnership programs will supplement that work by exposing you to industry experts who will teach you and students at other consortium institutions virtually. We refer to these programs as skilled pathways because they emphasize the in-demand skill-sets that employers are saying they need. Students who complete all of the courses in a particular program will have their completion of the courses recorded as a minor on their transcript upon graduation, but many of the individual courses and programs offer opportunities to complete industry certifications or prepare you to complete certification exams that can also be valuable additions to a resume.
