Careers
The Ross MSCM Program positions students to assume leadership positions in supply chain management and operations. Supply chain professionals are in high demand, and MSCM graduates are working in locations as diverse as Chicago; San Jose, Calif.; Houston; Singapore; the Philippines; and Venezuela. They are impacting such industries as telecommunications, consulting, oil and gas, computers and electronics, automotive, logistics, transportation, and manufacturing.
Students of the MSCM program enjoy great success when it comes to placement in full-time positions and internships.
Graduates of the MSCM program are working for companies such as:
The positions held within these companies include supply chain analysts, senior consultants, supply chain managers, directors, and vice presidents, as well as positions in leadership development rotational programs.
Ross MSCM graduates enjoy such success in the full-time job market because our program's unique design packs numerous opportunities for students to build their network and gain hands-on experience that complements their studies. Students also enjoy access to the Ross School's highly regarded Office of Career Development (OCD).
OCD is well-positioned for the challenging economic climate into which our graduates are heading. We maintain close working relationships with a variety of firms that sponsor paid summer projects and recruit Ross students to join them after graduation. Due to the unique nature of the MSCM Program, we offer pre-arrival career counseling in order to help students clarify goals
OCD consists of two staff groups — career counseling and recruiter relations — that provide such critical resources as:
- Individual counseling and workshops
- self-assessment
- job search strategy
- self-directed search
- resume writing
- networking
- interviewing skills
- negotiating skills
- Online databases
- Recruiting events and corporate presentations
- On-campus interviewing
A distinct advantage of the Ross MSCM Program is the connection between students and industry leaders via the MSCM Corporate Advisory Council. Council members are actively engaged in program development, summer projects, and other student initiatives. These relationships position Ross MSCM graduates to make an immediate impact in industry once they graduate.
