Our history, your legacy
Western Michigan University's supply chain management program was launched in September 1992 and in 2011 earned its first national ranking, being named No. 12 in undergraduate supply chain education by Gartner. WMU has been consistently ranked as a top program in the nation by Gartner ever since.
Our commitment to continuously improving the program requires extensive industry collaboration. The program's advisory board helps fill that need, ensuring our students receive an exceptional education and are prepared to add immediate value to organizations.
Less than 6% of business schools worldwide have obtained AACSB accreditation—and WMU Haworth is one of them, making it an excellent choice for students seeking quality education that is a good investment of their tuition dollars. WMU Haworth has maintained its AACSB accreditation since 1970 for undergraduate programs and 1981 for its graduate programs.
