Grainger Center’s Supply Chain Program Ranked 7th in U.S.

The supply chain management program of the UW-Madison School of Business has been ranked seventh in the nation. In an article in the September 2005 issue of Supply Chain Management Review on "The State of Supply Chain Education," the program of the Grainger Center for Supply Chain Management was ranked seventh in a survey of 96 programs at North American universities.

The survey sought input from both practitioners and academics, who were asked to rate eight characteristics in a university supply chain education, and asked to rank the 20 top logistics and supply chain management programs according to these criteria. Practitioners emphasized the importance of curriculum, reputation, and source of potential management talent. Wisconsin's overall ranking place it ahead of supply chain management programs of MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Arizona State and many others.
