Bachelor of Science in Business Administration: Concentration in Logistics Management
Logistics management deals with three related and integral parts of the marketing operation. Logistics covers the management of the physical flow of materials and includes such elements as customer service, inventory management, and packaging. Purchasing is marketing from the viewpoint of buying for resale or for use in the production function. Transportation covers the physical move from sources of product to production to consumers. Most job opportunities are in the private sector with carriers, shippers, service providers, or as buyers.
Undergraduate majors may not take departmental concentration courses on a CR/NC basis. Students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 in all concentration courses.
