Sheridan’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) (Supply Chain Management) program has been designed to respond to the rapidly changing business world. There’s an unmet demand for supply chain management education given the large-scale retirements of baby boomers from the professional workforce and the fact that business programs at traditional universities are running at capacity. This new BBA degree has been designed to fill this gap. The first two years of the new BBA (Supply Chain Management) degree will be common with the other new BBA degrees in order to provide a solid grounding in business fundamentals while the later years will provide a focus on the management aspect of the supply chain, rather than on the development of specific skills in any of the various functional areas within supply chain activities. You’ll also have the option of selecting one of three inter-disciplinary options: International Business; Innovation & Entrepreneurship; and Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability. This will build your capacity to respond to new situations in a rapidly changing world and help you succeed personally and professionally in ways that better society. To ensure your success the new BBA degree features an innovative educational approach that guides you in in the development of your critical, creative and reflective thinking capacity. This will allow you to develop your personal awareness while also being able to fully evaluate business processes so that you’re able to draw and articulate defensible conclusions in response to complex business situations. In your final year you must also complete a community based Integrated Industry Project or Research Thesis. In parallel with your academic studies, you’ll also develop a Creative Learning Portfolio which fosters your self-awareness, reflective practice and an open mindset through the integration of activities.
