B.Sc. in Logistics & Supply Chain Management

Logistics and supply chain management are partners in a carefully choreographed dance that keeps businesses performing at optimal levels. Examples are everywhere we look. Manufacturers depend on a steady supply of parts and raw materials to produce their goods, whether they’re aircraft, cars, computers, furniture, or food. Distributors require precision and accuracy in transporting items to the right locations at the right times. HIPAL’s Bachelor of Science in Logistics and Supply Chain Management prepares its graduates to tackle these problems and challenges and to be leaders in this rapidly growing industry.
