Logistics and Transportation Management
Logistics and Transportation Management Program
Logistics and Transportation Management are disciplines concerned with the efficient and effective flow of materials through the supply chain system. Logistics and Transportation Management assume the “supply chain system” approach to the management of activities such as purchasing, material management, inventory management, operations, packaging, warehousing, transportation, and customer service.
The two-year program culminates with the internship (on-the-job training) in a logistics or transportation related position. The internship program provides students with the opportunity to gain valuable, real-world experience linking logistics and transportation theories and practices with the working world.
