School-Life Balance

The W. P. Carey Master of Science in Supply Chain Management and Engineering program is designed to support your busy lifestyle, but to be successful in the program you must be able to balance the demands of your online coursework with the other commitments in your life.

Because the MS-SCME is a rigorous program, being a successful candidate requires more than excellent test scores and qualifying professional skills. You must be able to dedicate 15 – 20 hours a week to the program, which requires excellent organization skills as well as the desire to be a self-directed learner. Many online students discover that working ahead on projects and assignments rather than waiting until the last minute helps their time management and makes them more effective students.

While the W. P. Carey School of Business prides itself on timely, productive feedback from your instructors in the online environment, you must be able to navigate reading assignments and written instructions comfortably and capably; success in the program greatly depends on your ability to work in this non-traditional setting.
