KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The University of
Tennessee, Knoxville's, Haslam College of Business has
once again been recognized for excellence in supply chain
management education. Gartner's 2024 Top 25 Supply Chain
University rankings placed UT at No. 1 in North America for graduate supply chain
management programs and No. 2 in North
America for undergraduate programs.
Gartner, based in Stamford,
Connecticut, is considered by supply chain practitioners to
be the world's preeminent ranking source. This marks the 10th year
Haslam's graduate supply chain programs have placed in the
organization's top 10. The undergraduate program has been among
North America's best for 13
years.
"These rankings demonstrate the ongoing excellent reputation of
our supply chain management programs," Stephen L. Mangum, dean and Stokely Foundation
Leadership Chair at Haslam, said. "Students (prospective and
current), peer institutions and industry partners recognize the
Haslam College of Business as being at the forefront of supply
chain education and thought leadership."
Recognition for Enrollment, Curriculum and Industry
Value
To compile the Top 25 list, Gartner considered program size,
scope and industry value. The organization looked at enrollment
numbers, percentage of students who've completed internships prior
to graduation, breadth of curriculum, diversity of the student body
and academic faculty and salary figures for recent graduates.
As part of its exhaustive assessment, Gartner distributed a
survey to supply chain practitioners in the U.S. and Canada. The respondents were asked about the
highest-quality programs as well as the universities from which
they recruit the most talent. In these categories, UT was ranked
No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
Haslam's comprehensive undergraduate program, which emphasizes
end-to-end supply chain management, requires students to complete
an internship prior to graduation and provides opportunities to
gain experience as early as their first year through innovative
offerings such as the Supply Chain Career Ready Certification.
As part of its extensive graduate and executive programs, UT
offers one of the country's top-ranked online Master of Science in
Supply Chain Management programs as well as an executive
MBA and full-time MBA with concentrations in the
discipline.
"The college and department have spent more than two decades
developing a robust and rigorous curriculum across our
undergraduate and graduate programs that emphasizes relevant,
real-world application at its core," said John Bell, supply chain management department
head and John H. "Red" Dove Professor of Supply Chain Management at
Haslam. "Haslam is not just a premier destination for the nation's
leading faculty, who represent the best in academia and practice,
but a place where the future leaders of the supply chain are being
developed every day."
