Bachelor of Science Supply Chain and Operations Management

The Bachelor of Science in Supply Chain and Operations Management (BSSCOM) degree is a competency-based degree program that develops operational skills that can be applied to a variety of sectors, such as corporations, small businesses, government agencies, nonprofits, healthcare, and educational institutions. The BSSCOM program addresses business needs and helps business leaders overcome challenges by equipping them with skills in data analysis, process review, critical thinking, and execution of operational improvements. The competencies in this program measure in-demand skills to prepare learners to create and maintain a bridge between business management and technology, operations, and supply chain functions (distribution, logistics, transportation, warehousing, inventory management, procurement, and demand planning).Through the program learners will learn how to ask critical business questions, form hypotheses that can be proven or disproven by data, translate raw data into usable and valuable business intelligence, and tell a business story based on data that provides companies with a competitive edge in their respective industries. The program concludes with an experiential learning capstone course where learners will deliver an operational project that showcases the skills they acquired throughout the program. The BSSCOM program includes three embedded certificates: Business Analytics, Operations Excellence, and Solutions Design Thinking. The three certificates are included in the Degree Plan and may be shared digitally in the WGU Achievement Wallet. This program also offers learners the option of earning recognized third-party professional credentials and certificates as they progress in their degree.
