(Global Logistics & Maritime Management)
The Master of Science degree programs at Loeb-Sullivan School prepare recent college graduates and individuals seeking a mid-career change for a rewarding career in global supply chain logistics and related fields. A baccalaureate degree in business is not a pre-requisite. Graduate students pursue their studies at a level that requires a significant investment of energy, thought and preparation. This will lead to personal growth in their managerial and leadership skills. Students will demonstrate their ability to gather, apply, analyze, synthesize, and critically evaluate current theories and knowledge claims by addressing specific real-world problems. The majority of course credit is earned in seminar format classes on the beautiful campus we share with Maine Maritime Academy. Approved courses from distance learning programs will be accepted to a maximum of six credits.
