I'm a sophomore in RBS and I am thinking about majoring in Supply Chain Management. I really liked my intro to supply chain class. Any pros/cons?

Supply Chain is always in demand.
Personally I think it's boring, but then again I do costing so my job is boring too! Haha.
Are you allowed to do multiple concentrations or just one?

Tango -- I know you sometimes get flack for telling people that there are other threads on the same topic. But in this case, kudos to you for referring the OP to old threads that will probably help answer a lot of his questions.
Upcoming Rutgers Business School tours on February 15,March 22,and March 29. More information here---https://www.ugadmissions.rutgers.edu/Visit/new-brunswick/register
Talk to an advisor, buddy.
Not meaning to sound like a jerk, but I think RBS' advisors would be of more use to you than a football board composed mostly of alumni who probably graduated before you were born.

Pirate = SHU? Did you consider any B-schools up in the Boston area? Are you doing an Exec program or traditional?
This was waaaaaaaaaaay back in '05 when I was living in JC then back to Somerville after leaving Goldman after burnout. I need two years off. SHU took a risk. My grades at Bentley were brutal. Barely got out. Again, don't blame RBS.
Agreed. Also, see if you can find someone in career service who may be able to hook you up with an alumni to talk to. I do it often at Bentley. Kids reach out to me often.
My daughter just finished up Masters in SCM with GSM,online program. She liked most of courses, but thought a few of the profs were not great. She works in Finance (BS from Nova and MBA from Montclair) and was looking to add new area of expertise.
You didn't have the grades for RBS but GS took you. That means RBS is more selective than GS. That is a good thing.
I recently retired from as Senior Counsel from a Siemens owned company and was actively involved in senior management , including Logistics. And supply chain management is a very key player in manufacturing today especially with the emphasis on on-time demand, outsourcing and minimizing asset investment in inventories of finished goods and raw materials.
I totally agree that SCM is a key player, and not only in manufacturing. I see it on the service side as well, including SaaS to the investment company community and other industries. Good field to get into.
Where I work has an active program with the RU supply chain program where we continually have 2 interns on staff in the purchasing and logistics departments. We have hired a number of the RU interns for full time positions, 2 in my department the past 6 months. I would definitely recommend the RU supply chain program. Ironically, we used to have this arrangement with PSU but found the interns lacking and never hired one. I really don't know much about the PSU program so don't want to blame the school versus luck of the draw in the students we brought in from there. Needless to say, we have been very happy with the RU interns.
After I posted, I was thinking about the differences in the interns we got from both schools. From my interaction with them, all seemed to be bright kids. However, one huge difference is the PSU interns came across as entitled. By contrast the RU interns, while equally smart, had no issues with rolling up their sleeves and working. Not just my observation, asked a co-worker their opinion and shesaid basically the same thing without my prompting. Again, working on a small sample size so don't want to make any sweeping generalizations but have been more impressed with the RU students.
I got my MBA in SCM from RBS. I get bored easily so I like it fine because it encompasses so much you can always go to a different aspect of it (logistics, transportation, planning, inventory management, etc.) relatively easily if you want. It will always be an in demand job, but finance and marketing almost always pay better.
The thing is with SCM is that it's like referees - you only notice it when something goes wrong. When the business is running smoothly no one cares (except costs) but when shit hits the fan you're in the crosshairs. Also it's a cost center so you're always under the microscope trying to shave pennies off while the marketing team dumps money all over place with no regard for ROI.

I'm looking into getting my MS in Engineering Management. Its 30 credits as opposed to 60 for MBA. I don't think I'd ever finish the MBA where 30 credits is doable while working.
Does anyone have this degree?
