WWU MSCM PROGRAM 13th!

Western’s Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management Program is among the best in the country, according to biennial rankings released this summer by Gartner, Inc.

Western’s program came in 13^th in North America, up from 18^th in Gartner’s previous rankings two years ago.

The program prepares graduates for roles in manufacturing and logistics – and it’s a lot more than making sure the trucks run on time, says graduating senior Renee Rockett. Click the link to read the full article in Window Magazine.
