The students will also have the opportunity to listen to the lectures of top-level executives, engaging in research, and taking part in numerous job opportunities.

The program is also offered in Spain and Malaysia as part of MIT's Global Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) network. In the United States, the program is offered at the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics as well as at the Zaragosa Logistics Center and the Malaysia Institute for Supply Chain Innovation in Spain and Malaysia respectively.

Graduates of MIT's supply chain management master's program are in demand among top companies worldwide. In fact, some of the graduates this year has already been hired in some of the top firms, such as Apple, Converse, Deloitte, McKinsey and Company, and General Motors.
