Through virtual field trips and experiential learning opportunities with industry , it will also allow us to bring the experience of Alaska ’ s place in global supply chain management to the rest of the logistics and supply chain education world .
Alaska is poised to become an important hub in Arctic shipping as polar sea ice continues to melt and arctic shipping lanes increase . The MS GSCM program is working closely with the Arctic Domain Awareness Center ( ADAC ), a Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence , allowing MS students to get a first-hand look at the most current research and innovative technology related to situational awareness and crisis response in the challenging and growing world of Arctic transportation . Students will also learn from the expertise of instructors who are at the top of their field , whether they are researchers and academics from across the University of Alaska systems statewide or esteemed industry executives leading their companies ’ innovative global supply chain initiatives .
We are looking forward to welcoming students from Alaska and across the world who are ready to embark on an academically rigorous and experientially engaging challenge with a uniquely Alaskan twist .
