NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Belmont University is launching a degree in supply chain management this fall.
The program within the Nashville school’s Jack C. Massey College of Business offers five possible tracks that include health care, international, analytics and services, according to a Belmont news release.
The major comes at a time when the number of supply chain management jobs is growing rapidly.
The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates they will grow by 22 percent in the next two years, according to the school. And demand in Middle Tennessee is expected to rise with companies like Amazon and Oracle opening Nashville campuses.
The degree program was developed in consultation with local and regional Fortune 500 companies, privately held corporations and nonprofit organizations, according to the school.
