Background on WSU¹s SCM Program and the Ogden Area

Weber State has a long tradition of excellence in SCM. Established as a
logistics program in 1969, WSU¹s supply chain program is among the oldest
SCM programs in the United States. More important, WSU¹s faculty and
administration has selected SCM for strategic emphasis and resource
commitment. The successful applicant will join in efforts to further develop
the SCM program as a flagship program of the John B. Goddard School of
Business and Economics. In the past two years, the school has established a
Center for Supply Chain Excellence and built a strategic advisory board. The
next step will be to cultivate industry clusters focused on aerospace,
health care, logistics service providers, and outdoor recreation. Currently,
the demand for our graduates far exceeds our available graduates. Recruiters
include American Express, Boeing, FedEx, Ford Motor Company, L-3
Communications, Northrop-Grumman, Toyota, and UPS, among many others.

 

Weber State University occupies a beautiful campus nestled in the foothills
of the Wasatch Mountains in Ogden, Utah, and is 35 miles north of Salt Lake
City. Forbes magazine recently rated Utah as #1 Best State for Business and
rated Ogden among the 10 Best Cities for Raising a Family. National
Geographic also named Ogden as one of America¹s best adventure towns. The
area offers year-round cultural events and outdoor recreational activities.
Major industries in the region include aerospace, transportation/logistics,
manufacturing, information technology, biomedical, healthcare, and outdoor
recreation products and services.

 

WSU maintains a small-school atmosphere despite its 26,000 full and
part-time students and prides itself on its quality teaching, its commitment
to meeting the needs of students at every stage of life, and its ongoing
service to the community. WSU is a predominately undergraduate university,
but has several excellent graduate programs housed within the Goddard School
of Business and Economics including the MBA, Master of Accounting, and
Master of Taxation programs. The Goddard School is committed to teaching and
research excellence as evidenced by AACSB accreditation, and its students
regularly achieve mean scores above the 90th percentile nationally on the
ETS Major Field Tests at both undergraduate and MBA levels.
