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.
Executive education courses may become available as scheduling permits; please see the "News" section of this web site or contact the Loeb-Sullivan School for further details.
The Global Logistics & Maritime Management (GLMM) Program prepares students for the challenges of managing the logistics of global supply chains and the strategic as well as operational management in the maritime sector. The curriculum integrates managerial disciplines within the logistics and maritime professions. GLMM encompasses the ability to study, analyze, and evaluate the flow of goods, customer services, finances, and information from the supplier's suppliers to the ultimate consumer. There is an emphasis on new concepts and theories for global marketing and sourcing, inventory, distribution, and transportation management as well as the supporting economics and finance/accounting. Students study logistics in the context of a supply chain management philosophy in addition to the set of operational processes that can optimize the international supply chain. Graduates of the program are grounded in general management capability and are prepared to contribute strategic and organizational efforts toward effective supply chain management. This will enable them to effectively lead logistics and maritime organizations involved in operations and customer satisfaction.
