Supply Chain Management is becoming more popular in business area.

The number of freshman supply chain majors at the Carey School has doubled since the 2007-08 academic year. This year, there were 211 senior majors and 18 freshman majors. Salaries are another draw. The Institute for Supply Chain Management’s 2011 survey shows that the average salary for supply chain management professionals is $103,664, up from $98,200 a year earlier. The average entry-level professional supply management salary is about $49,500, but the average salary of those with five or fewer years of experience is $83,689, up from $72,908 in 2010, an increase of nearly 15 percent.

According those data, we can know more and more student choose Supply Chain Managment, and after they graduate, they can find a job with a good salary.

This is the reason why I chose this major, and as I know, many of friend and international students changed their major to Supply Chain Management.
