Why Major in Supply Chain Management?
Supply Chain Management is a growing business discipline with a worldwide value of over $26 trillion. Belmont’s location in Nashville will provide you with ample internship opportunities, and as businesses continue to relocate to our city, you can gain real-world experiences in a variety of industries, such as technology, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation and automotive, to name a few.
When creating the Supply Chain Management program at Belmont, our faculty and leadership team met with executives from an array of companies and industries. Insights from professionals at Under Armour, Tractor Supply, Cracker Barrel, Ingram Industries, Louisiana-Pacific (LP), Averitt Express, HCA Healthcare, Ingram Barge and the Nashville Predators played a role in how our SCM program was designed.
An experiential internship will be incorporated into your undergraduate career in the SCM program, and you may also choose to complete a full-time co-op experience with a company.
You will also customize your SCM major with your choice of a track in: healthcare, international business, analytics, services or a combination of courses from any track.
Your in and out-of-the-classroom knowledge will position you for success. According to the Harvard Business Review, the U.S. supply chain contains 37% of all jobs, employing 44 million people. Supply chain jobs have higher than average salaries, and as a product of Belmont’s Supply Chain Management program, you will be highly sought after!

"The Supply Chain Management program's emphasis on data analytics and its forward-thinking approach to anticipating future needs in the industry makes me feel confident about my skills post-graduation.

"Academically, Massey has pushed me to think analytically and strategically through coursework in supply chain management, operations, service marketing, and negotiation. I’ve learned how to approach problems from both a quantitative and human-centered perspective — whether modeling supply planning scenarios, building healthcare policy proposals, or analyzing service gaps. The emphasis on real-world application has made learning practical rather than theoretical."
