The Faculty

The Department of Graduate Studies is committed to teaching, research, and service that meet the evolving needs of supply chain and logistics-related fields. Faculty members and visiting consultants are selected for excellence in teaching, intellectual contributions, and scholarship, including practitioner-oriented research. Faculty members also bring extensive experience working with businesses, governmental agencies, and regulatory bodies, as well as developing and delivering management programs in the United States and abroad.

Resident professors form the nucleus of the graduate faculty. The modular format used during the summer months provides opportunities for highly qualified visiting professors from other business schools and expert consultants from industry to participate in the program. Each faculty member is dedicated to teaching and selected for effective classroom instruction and professional expertise. All resident graduate faculty members are available to mentor and advise graduate students. The mentoring process begins during the application stage and continues through successful completion of the program.
