Major in Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Elmhurst College is the only college in the Chicago area that offers an undergraduate major in this crucial aspect of economic life: the movement and storage of goods. With Chicago’s status as a major transportation hub, students have exceptional opportunities to observe closely how supplies move from place to place and what systems are necessary to keep them moving.
Aside from the core courses, majors take five additional courses in areas such as logistics management, strategic warehousing, and international logistics. Upon graduation, majors can successfully move into any area of supply chain management.
