This Week @ AU

The supply chain management program in the College of Business ranks among the nation's top 20, according to research findings reported in the September 2009 issue of Supply Chain Management Review. A follow-up to a 2005 report, the 2009 study was based on a recent survey of supply chain professionals and university educators. Respondents were asked to evaluate educational programs using nine criteria including faculty, curricula, reputation and alumni visibility. Auburn's overall rank rose from No. 20 in 2005 to No. 17. Among practitioners, Auburn is ranked No. 13 among a list of 57 universities identified as national or regional leaders.

Auburn began teaching supply chain topics including transportation, logistics and operations management more than 30 years ago. In 2007, the logistics and operations management programs were merged to better align educational opportunities with industry, and the college began offering a comprehensive undergraduate major in supply chain management. Today, there are close to 130 students in the program.
