The MBA is offered by the Rankin College of Business at SAU and is fully accredited by AACSB, International, the premier accrediting body for colleges and schools of business.

Supply chain management strategies began to emerge in the early 1980s. Walmart and Dell offer examples of successful early adopters of supply chain management strategies: Most business organizations have adopted some form of supply chain management strategy since that time. It is the goal of the MBA/SCM emphasis to provide graduates with the skills and knowledge necessary to support organizational efforts to successfully implement supply chain management strategies. Students will be exposed to new knowledge in the following areas: supply chain management strategy, enterprise resource planning systems, RFID technology applications, environmentally sustainable supply chain practices, supply chain cybersecurity, and project management.
