Georgia Tech's Executive Masters in International Logistics & Supply Chain Strategy (EMIL-SCS) is not alone in its ability to draw faculty and students from around the world to discuss the challenges and best practices involved in managing a global supply chain. But the university then takes that global concept one step further by also hosting residencies across the world.
During this 18-month program, students attend five, two-week residencies: two on Georgia Tech's campus in Atlanta, Georgia, USA; plus one in Europe, one in Asia, and one in Latin America. This allows participants to experience first-hand the regional influences on global supply chains across several continents. Between residencies, participants work together on case studies and complete Web-based course materials.
Program: Executive Masters in International Logistics—Supply Chain Strategy
