Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Logistics programmes teach how goods move and where they sit — purchasing, inventory, warehousing, transportation modes, customs and the software that tracks all of it — from the loading dock up to designing a distribution network.

The degrees this program covers

⚠⚠ Two quite different programmes wear this name in Florida and they lead to different jobs. The bachelor's side (CIP 52.0203) is nine public universities, 241 degrees in 2023, with FIU alone awarding 192 — and a bachelor's is what 75% of working logisticians report holding. The certificate and associate side (CIP 52.0209) is thirteen colleges producing 91 certificates and 57 associate degrees, and it leads to warehouse, shipping, purchasing and coordinator roles: real jobs, entered quickly, but not the analyst occupation this page's career path describes. ⚠ The A.S. is built to ladder into the bachelor's. Ask which university accepts it, in writing, before you enrol rather than after.

Careers this program leads to

Each one sets out the courses along the way, the licence or certification at the end, and the sources behind it.

Logistics and Supply Chain Analyst

Logisticians decide where goods sit, how they move and what it costs — purchasing, inventory, transportation and network design. ⚠ It is the fastest-growing and best-paid occupation in this cluster (a median of $82,320, growth of 18% on the latest federal projection), and there is no single required major: 75% hold a bachelor's, and business, supply chain and engineering all lead here. So does the military.

Careers that name this program, but not as a route

Commercial Truck Driver

⚠ Where a driver's career can go off the road: dispatch, fleet management and supply chain.

Farmer, Rancher and Agricultural Manager

⚠ Where many food and resource economics graduates actually work: getting perishable product from field to shelf.

Programs similar to this one

Neighbouring fields that share much of the same coursework, and often the same employers. ⚠ Read these before you commit to a major — which doors a neighbouring degree keeps open is the part no catalog tells you, and it is far cheaper to change now than later.

Industrial and Systems Engineering 6 Florida schools

⚠ The same problems from the mathematics side — inventory policy, facility location, queueing, network design are core industrial engineering subjects, and the federal handbook names systems engineering as one of the degrees logisticians hold. Four Florida institutions award it, against nine for the supply chain bachelor's.

Industrial Production Technology 19 Florida schools

The plant-floor end of the same material: production and inventory control, scheduling and lean methods. ⚠ Worth knowing because a manufacturer's supply chain jobs are frequently filled from inside the plant rather than from a logistics degree.

Commercial Truck Driving (CDL) 19 Florida schools

⚠ Where a driver's career goes off the road: dispatch, fleet management and supply chain. Miami Dade's TRA1420 Introduction to Trucking Operations is a college-credit bridge from the cab to the office.

Professional Pilot and Aviation Science 8 Florida schools

⚠ Where aviation management graduates often end up: air cargo, airport and airline operations. A route into aviation for someone who wants the industry without the flight-training bill.

Business Administration and Management 45 Florida schools

⚠ A specialisation that has separated out into its own degree, and one of the few business concentrations where the specialist credential clearly beats the general one. Worth reading before settling for a general management degree if operations and supply chain are what interest you.

Agricultural Business and Food and Resource Economics 5 Florida schools

⚠ Where a food and resource economics graduate often ends up: moving perishable product from field to shelf. The marketing and finance courses are the shared ground.
