All of my professors were very welcoming and made themselves available whenever I had questions.
Supply chain is the ‘what. ’Transportation and logistics is the ‘how.’ How do you move goods or services from point A to point B in a way that’s efficient, affordable and on time? Every business – no matter how small or large – needs that. These are skills you can take with you anywhere.
