Say I want to get into supply chain management/operations management/logistics
My school does not have an undergrad program in any of the above. Would it be best to transfer to a school that specializes in this or just get a degree in management?
management is quite a bit different from operations management in my experience..im not really sure what your best bet is, maybe a major in information systems, as this is a field that works closely with OM. Actually, industrial engineering would probably be a good way to go, or operations research.
Personally, I would recommend getting an engineering degree. Barring that, you would probably want to take statistics courses and/or major in MIS. Regardless, you wll probably have to do some footwork on your own to land an internship/ft opportunity doing what you want.
Getting a mgt degree would not preclude you from entering this field but you need to take related courses (stats, ops, project management, possibly some engineering classes).
