Supply Chain Management

Your Supply Chain Career. Your Way.

Columbus's central location in Ohio, a state that's one day's drive away from nearly half the U.S. population, makes it a supply chain management hub. The need for supply chain and logistics pros is already high, and it's set to multiply when Intel starts operations. The sky is the limit for career opportunities at central Ohio-based companies like Limited Brands, Honda, DHL, FedEx, Cardinal Health, OhioHealth, and more. At Columbus State, we can help you prepare for a well-paid job in this growing field in a way that makes sense for you. Focus on the who, what, why, when, and where of how goods get to consumers, finding increasingly innovative ways to streamline logistics.

Careers & Industries

Supply chain. Logistics. Global trade. What's the difference? You'll find SCM professionals negotiating, purchasing, and selling goods, with logistics teams handling all aspects of getting those goods into customers' hands faster and more efficiently — even if they're on the other side of the world. If the idea of delivering an online order to someone's home or business in a matter of hours instead of days sounds interesting, we'll help you find your way forward in the supply chain field — in logistics, procurement, sales negotiations, infrastructure, warehousing, or transportation.
